Trick Or Treat 


It was all treats for railfans from the Canadian Pacific on Halloween this year, but maybe a little bit of a trick for the crew of this Toronto-bound manifest/ballast train. They had made their way down the last part of the Mactier Sub and onto the North Toronto within the first hour of daylight, but were halted at Leaside due to a major train traffic jam getting into Toronto Yard ahead of them. 4 eastbound trains, 2 westbounds, plus 4 continuous RC Yard Jobs always up to something. Eventually at around 11:30am, they were instructed to run around their train and head to Lambton instead. This made quite a few eyes turn as the lone SD40-2 in this consist was facing west and would end up being the one leading into Lambton. And here they are, sitting in the Lambton 5 yard track shortly after the crew hopped on a taxi to take them back to Agincourt. What a day!
