Description: |
Not a railroad facility, but more like something Rapunzel would let her hair down from, or Quasimodo's home. CP 167 roll past the buildings on the back side of Waverly. |

Train 253 is just starting to gain momentum for the climb to Belden Tunnel at Bevier St. For a change, it has some horsepower, with a SOO SD 60 and an AC 44CW in the mix. |

I had followed 419 west and was set up to get the shot here at Miller Beach Rd, when 166 came blasting by with four units and 112 cars. |

Parking lot shot |
Description: |
Getting a shot of a northbound in the early morning could be problematic due to not having good side angle. The light was good as a rule, just nothing much open. There was a restaurant in town that had a fairly wide open shot in the parking lot, which is where we see 413 headed north |
