CN 2912
Title:  CN 2912
Description:  My first pics ever at this location. It's only suitable for afternoon shots, and is so infrequently used, it's not practical to even keep an eye on this spur. But every now and then, I'll get lucky and catch this rarely scheduled train.

CN 2912
Title:  CN 2912
Description:  The Prize! Train 562 under wind-swept skies. Still one of my favourite afternoon spots, with Lyon's Creek weaving and winding under Buchner Road. But with Xander after school pickup duty, I don't get out in the afternoons much anymore. (No school today - it's Saturday)!

CN 3866
Title:  CN 3866
Description:  I just missed by moments the train leaving Port Robinson yard, and chased it to Buchner Road where I hobnobbed with a friendly CN work crew who were finishing up some signal sensor tests - just before the train arrived. Just one worthwhile shot, but it certainly made my day.
