Lots of power |
| Description: |
The last time I saw five units on the transfer was the summer of 2003! I wish this were five SD45s in stead, oh well. Times have changed. The transfer had no trouble getting up Shoreham hill today. |

| Description: |
The transfer is about to pick up the CN 2231 to make a five unit consist. While it looks warm out, it was cold, mostly due to a 4 degree wind chill when it was 18 degrees outside! |

While we waited and thought a rock train would be coming by from Cardigan, we were suprised to see the WC come up Northtown. We eventually headed out to Cardigan to shoot the rock train. |
