Canadian Pacific Holiday Train meeting CP 9648 in Craighurst, Ontario

November 30th, 2011

The CP Holiday train Northbound just after the ceremony stop in Midhurst, Ontario on the main line of the CP MacTier sub in Craighurst, Ontario. Engine 9815 was pulling again! He was given a clearance with an "ITEM 4" at Craighurst, meaning he had to meet this Southbound before proceeding to MacTier for the next ceremony.

The Southbound train was train 112 with units: 9648, and 96??. He had to wait for almost an hour at the North end of this siding for the Holiday train! He track released at Mile 95 about 55 minutes before I started filming! (this is mile 73 I am at)

@carpetime this is probably the worst siding on the MacTier sub as it crosses 2 busy highways, stopping traffic for 15 minutes, sometimes longer!

There must have been some pretty P''''d off drivers at that crossing, like the guy who drove through the gates before the southbound went through
