VIA 98/AMTK 63 And VIA 95 In St Catharines November 21 2009

Tonight i would head down to the station. I left tonight at 6:50pm so i would likely miss Via 98. Although, when i was half way there, i heard on my scanner Via 98 cleared signal on the advance to Seaway. The station was not an option because it would be gone before i got there. So i had to see it at Vansickle Road again! I got to Vansickle Road a few minutes before it came. On my scanner, the RTC told Via 98 that he was meeting Via 95 at Jordan and he would have to stop. I would see Via 95 at the station as usual. This time it was on the south track for once. It was on the south because 98 was on the north. I wouldn't stay at the station much longer.

Hey, VIA 95's Engineers name is Dennis, my Dad knows him.

Hey, really? Is he on there every night, over just 60 - 80% of the time. That means he obviously has seen me many times before.

No. VIA Rail Engineers work every 3 days and get a break every 2 days. He doesent run the Niagara line everynight. He moves around. Such as Halton sub ETC. I might get a cabride on his via train.

Yeah i know, it may sound like it has a bird stuck in it but i actually like it. It reminds me of olden days of Amtrak when they operated the F units.
