Subway
Title:  Subway
Description:  The sandwich shop, not rapid transit. I was on my way to pick up a Subwy Club for my wife, and saw this guy sitting just south of the Lake Frances Rd crossing, waiting on a meet. I grabbed this shot as I crossed the tracks. When they hold out here, its so they dont block crossings in town, so the southbound he was meeting was a ways off yet. Still there when I was headed home, so I let it go, which my wife appreciated!!

Eight units!!
Title:  Eight units!!
Description:  When I got to Watts, the 262 was working at the south end, but was going to hold for a northbound. I went to Westville, thinking that would be the northbound with CP 7030 on it. I was correct, and a few minutes later, I heard the dispatcher telling a 261 his work at Watts. Here he is, eight units and 60 cars. The decal for the Strathconas can be seen on the nose of the third unit. Well look at that in more detail shortly.
