UP 5010
Title:  UP 5010

VIA 6787 Day 2
Title:  VIA 6787 Day 2
Description:  I did not record the name or number of this train - making its station stop here in Belleville, ON - but I suspect it might be The Trillium. That is the same locomotive that I caught on The Trillium the day before at Bayview Jct...

THB 76
Title:  THB 76
Description:  So Conrail had some run-through or trackage rights on the CN between Buffalo and Detroit. Makes sense - shortest rout would be through Ontario. The local guys thought it was cool catching Conrail blue at Bayview, but it kind of bummed me out - not what I wanted to see in Canada. But then I noticed this guy right in the middle of that blue lash-up...

Title:  CP 5500
Description:  Yeah, this is not in Canada either, but I wanted to post this photo just because it is such a stark contrast to the eventual fate of this unit. Just pull up the database photos for CP 5500, youll see what I mean.

CN 3232
Title:  CN 3232

Light engine cut
Title:  Light engine cut
Description:  Not sure if these were helpers being moved or traffic into/out of the Juniata engine shops, but Conrail sure seemed to move cuts like this around the Curve quite a bit...at least, in my limited experience.

UP 6533
Title:  UP 6533
Description:  Had gotten a tip that a Heritage unit was on the head-end of a northbound due in to Dupo at a specified time. Had a small window of opportunity to be trackside just before the appointed hour...but no joy. After a couple of other northbound moves (like this one) rolled through, my time was up and the rain was coming down. Better luck next time for me - but I hope someone else caught it.
