We got information that CPKC would have a dimensional load of wind turbines coming through our area around 5pm but figuring they would be heavily speed restricted we choose to go much further north to catch up with it.
Train 1
Southbound train CPKC DIM-08 led by locomotives CP 8113 & BNSF 5228 hauling wind turbine parts consisting of 42 flatbeds carrying tower sections 14 flatbeds of Nacelles with generators total of 56 flatbed cars.
Spot 1
Pickerel, ON - mile 199.57 CN Bala Subdivision Forest Access Rd. crossing near CN Mowat siding filmed at 18:39 a mere 125 track miles from where we planed on catching it in Coldwater.
Spot 2
Bala, ON - CPKC Bridge over Hwy 169 filmed at 00:18 a mere 7.25 hours past the time it was scheduled in the MacTier area and a short 25 track miles from our planned filming spot. We chose to shoot this location after hearing from our friend @NickCarRSP that the train had not made MacTier Station as of 21:00 so after an hour and a half detour were back in the Bala area from our planned next video with CN 450 in South River, ON

OF Note:
During the second video Big Wreck was playing at the KEE to BALA down the street from our filming location so if any music is heard we do not have any rights to the music and it was not obtained with any permissions we apologize to the band for anything recoded during our video. Also many drunk people walked past during the filming any conversations may not be acceptable for younger viewers so discretion is advised.
