Welcome back, 1994. Nothing is ever simple on the railroad. Today was no exception. The mysterious "someone" at CP decided to hang an extra 5000+ feet of empty autoracks on the tail end of a loaded ballast train powered by "classics". Great idea,m except they stalled on the Meadowvale Hill. Luckily, 230 which sat at Milton for most of the day waiting for a new crew was around, so their lead unit became the pusher; trashing their trip.The GE shoved the ballast train all the way to Guelph Junction, before cutting off, grabbing their train and heading for Toronto. 

But a couple of hours later than planned, 1994 returns as 6308 and 5996 storm the remnants of Killean Siding making their soon-to-be successful run at Orr's Lake Hill. GM's in run 8...life is good.
