BCOL 4609
Title:  BCOL 4609
Description:  Ice cold, bitter winds, and just one train at Port Robinson today. But it turned out to be a beauty! Just before noon I caught BCOL 4609 turning on the Wye at Port Robinson West, preparing to build Train 562. I waited and waited, but the train didn't leave the yard until mid-afternoon - fortunately my patience paid off, with a sparkling shot at Cambridge siding, and then after a wee chase, I caught the train again at Brookfield Road. On the point today BCOL 4609 - a Draper Taper Dash-8 - one of my all-time favorite locomotives.

BCOL 4609
Title:  BCOL 4609
Description:  After coming off the Wye, BCOL 4609 heads south, back into the yard, to complete Train 562. This pic is obviously taken through my car window. Didn't quite make it to the crossing in time for a closer pic.

BCOL 4609
Title:  BCOL 4609
Description:  Finally, Train 562 took off from Port Robinson yard. What a sight to behold! A cleaner-than-usual British Columbia Rail Draper Taper Dash-8. I got the full show, with the engineer engaging the oscillating headlights, ringing the bell, and tearing off some fine horn blasts!!
