CP 8759
Title:  CP 8759
Description:  How a train chase begins! I was heading west, when extra-long eastbound CP Train 143 suddenly appeared flying out of the Welland Canal tunnel. I was able to get turned around quickly, and caught the train right where I wanted - at Forks Road grade crossing. Note the Hapag-Lloyd shipping containers. I didn't know it at the time, but the trailing locomotive was also emblazoned in a similar orange paint scheme.

Description:  I didn't see it coming, but the engineer's window suddenly slid open, and a plastic package came flying out the window at me and landed on the ground. It was a brand spanking new CP Safety Vest! SPARKLING! What a nice Christmas present!

CP 8781
Title:  CP 8781
Description:  Total bonus today is this splendid orange ES44AC, painted for container shipping company Hapag-Lloyd. It was one of the longest trains I've ever seen on CP tracks, and took so long to slowly grind its way through the Brookfield Wye, I had plenty of time to zip down to Fort Erie for a few pics before the train crossed over into the USA.
