Two videos this week - and the second one has some old friends for @wm3798 and @Ed Kapuscinski

CP's Canada 150 Train (41B) arriving at Smiths Falls from Ottawa with the 4106 leading... important catch for me as it's in the Script (favourite scheme). 1401 is the usual leader and is in the block lettering.

41B ready to leave, waiting for the VIA in background to pass and for the crew to finish their pre-trip tests.

41B passing Lonsdale siding after a length delay for one meet and one hotbox further east. Without that, would have never beaten them here.

I caught a four unit sunset power move.

41B west of Port Hope.

41B crossing Cherrywood Trestle... there were 17 foamtards at the lookout, easily a record.

The earlier eastbound 40B at Cherrywood siding.

40B at Colborne.

Oops.

40B at Finch on the Windchester Sub.

On the way back from watching the eclipse in NE, I was lucky enough to catch the KYLE railroad idling along side the highway.  The KYLE always offers an interesting mix of motive power and today was no different.

Discovered a railroad station-turned museum in North East, PA yesterday. The former NYC station has a nice display and gift shop; two locomotives and two former GN cars painted in the Empire Builder scheme were open to the public when I was there.  A nice railfanning spot too; I saw 2 CSX trains and one NS train in the 30 minutes I was there.
