CN 120 at Nappan, NS

This is what I like to call a "Salvage Shot". A VERY late CN 120 passes by Nappan, NS(south of Amherst) at around 4:20pm. Power was CN 8824, IC 1018 & CN 8823. Normally, 120 would be in Halifax by noon at the latest.

I actually crossed this crossing from the other side, looked, and saw nothing in sight. I made a quick u-turn up the road, and not even 20 seconds later, 120 came barelling down the line. This is the kind of video you'll see when it's -12 degrees celcius, and I'm not wearing gloves, nor do I have time to set up a tripod. Sorry folks, that's just how it is.

Hey Matt, that looks like the same crane we saw in McGivney.

I hate videoing in the cold. I remember once having to stop taping because I was shaking so violently it was shaking the camera.

[saintjohnrailfan]

Yeah, it does. That crane was sitting at Gort in the morning when I was there. I was on my way to PEI, so this was as far into Nova Scotia that I wanted to go, and I wanted to come out with at least something.
