Via 911 was rolling slowly through the first curve at Copetown towards or starting down the Dundas hill. On this day, my father and I went to the Copetown train show a short distance from the tracks. When we arrived, we heart a horn and decided to wait and see what would show up. 148 then appeared going down the grade, consisting of solid intermodal. Then 148 spoke to 383, who was a short distance away. 148 reported a man walking along the tracks a short distance away, so we knew he was close. We then heard the distinctive sound of a GE coming up the hill. We got there just in time to see CN 2635, IC 1018 and CN 5761 pulling hard against aprox. 124 cars.
