Today was joined by @Railfanspence and @CPKCMax. After I missed 113, I knew he would be meeting a southbound at a 3:30 pm time frame like he normally does. I was expecting it to be 112 with 106 right behind him but instead, a very heavy and long 420 comes through. He was about 670 axles and 17,000 tonnes. He had a hard time making it up the Palgrave hill. Right behind him was 112 with CP 8817 leading. It had a nice K5LA on it. At the end was CP 8638 which lead the holiday train back in 2002.
After 420 and 112 at Spence, I left to see 421 at duffy’s lane but I forgot 106 was coming and he came out of nowhere. He was absolutely flying through the north side of Caledon. All three of these trains met 421 in Bolton. 421 was the best train of the day, why? Because it had CP 7022 leading!! The veteran unit! Not only was he leading it had an GP20-ECO right behind KCS 4662 the second engine. He will be meeting a GPS train at medonte.
