Coffee break: After waiting at Mile 1 on the Windsor sub for the Holiday train to clear, the crew of CP 540 has made it just a little closer to their crew change at Quebec street yard. A broken switch stand at the west end of the yard meant that they had to wait for well over an hour while maintenance crews repaired the switch, just shy of the Begin/End CTC Sign London (a little more than a mile from the crew change point). I don't know if they actually did go for some Timmies, but it's probably not a bad place to have to wait; I wonder if they have ever thought of adding a "rail-through" window to the store? Power was CEFX 1046-CP 8750-8200-8207.
