I missed this 10-car train as it crossed over the International Bridge from Buffalo to Fort Erie, but still managed to chase it for three separate shots. Here is the first - the train picks up speed as it passes CN Duff Yard in Fort Erie. |

Mixed freighter heads onto the CP Hamilton Sub at Brookfield Wye. I didn't know until the train got close enough that it was pulling some special cargo today - sparkling blue Montreal commuter locomotive AMXX 1345. My 'Catch of the Year' - on the very last day of the year. |

CP 9640 |
| Description: |
My second entry in the "Catch of the Year for 2018 - in January" category, is this pairing of sister GE AC4400CW's - dropping off cars on the rarely used Stevensville spur. This was once the CP mainline to Fort Erie and the USA border, but was closed off east of Stevensville years ago, when the Brookfield Wye connector track was installed, allowing CP trains to veer onto the CN main. Even the brakeman joked with me about this unusual sighting: I have crossed this track almost daily since I moved to the Niagara Region just over a year ago - and this is the first time I have ever seen a train movement on this spur - now used only for storage as necessary. |

So long to sister GE units as they head back to Welland Yard after dropping a string of empty hoppers for storage. Note the deteriorated condition of the signal box - long out of service on the former CP main to Fort Erie. |

Not satisfied with my sun angles at Brookfield - where I watched CP spot hoppers onto the Stevensville spur storage track - I bolted for the Welland Canal tunnel and was able to catch these sister GE units running light back to CP Welland Yard. |
