love the horn and the train

[widecabfan]

@3321joshua Yes the leader on 308 had a nice horn and the trailing BC Rail was nice to see.

Nice shots. I got 3 days down there this year. I don't think that bridge is going to last much longer but I've been saying that for the better part of a decade

[widecabfan]

@wheels069 Thanks for the comment. That bridge at Lovekin is pretty brutal. It shacks when cars go across which is some what creepy.

@widecabfan Well yeah its an SD70. Im surprised, i have barely seen them at all. I think its been over a year since i last saw one. Maybe Niagara isn't really getting them.

[widecabfan]

@RailfanDaniel Yeah one of my Bayview videos 434 had a BCOL Dash 9-44CW. By IC black panther is that an SD70? Because they are common in south western ontario.

[RailfanDaniel]

@widecabfan That sucks the Belleville Sub was shut down so to speak. Usually its somewhat busy. I wasn't lucky when i went to Cobourg either. Caught one CP freight and that's it in four hours. When i took Via 57 back i saw a CP freight with a GCFX leaser on it, didn't even get a chance to film it. So your got another BCOL? Good! Maybe they are picking up. I still remember how popular they were starting last year in June. We'll eventually see something! Im still dying to see an IC black panther.

@RailfanDaniel Thanks Daniel. Lovekin was pretty sweet the CP Belleville Sub was shut down most of the day which sucked. It was long drive from London we left at 4:45am. I caught a Bcr unit not to long ago at Bayview Jct. Hope they hang around and maybe lead something.

[RailfanDaniel]

Great video! Lovekin is a pretty good spot! That would have been a long drive from London! Oh, btw yes 5620 recently got repainted. Only about a month ago in Homewood, IL. A GP40-2W got repainted along with it. Nice catch of the BC Rail! Haven't really seen them around.
