Title:  TRRY 1859
Description:  The only Trillium engine working today was their other ALCO #1859. I caught the loco running light, first at Pietz Road grade crossing, then at the small yard at Feeder Road. I waited around and caught the train again, finally coming to a stop at the engine yard.

TRRY 1859
Title:  TRRY 1859
Description:  Before returning to the Welland Engine yard, the locomotive must reverse at the Feeder Road yard, before 'backing' into the yard. If you didn't have a map or GPS, following the trains around here would be nuts. Most of the tracks cross vehicle roadways at odd angles and on curves, and don't follow any sort of linear, or even predictable, grid. Even with maps, it still took me quite a while to get the rhythm of the Trillium train movements around here.

CN 8898
Title:  CN 8898
Description:  Train 421 arrives early at Port Robinson yard with two burly EMD locomotives sandwiching a lone GE unit. After a quick crew change, the train becomes #562 as it works the yard building Train 531. I would return later to catch the locomotives standing alone at the signal rack, likely waiting for Train 531's crew to arrive and take the completed train through Fort Erie into the USA.
