Title:  GMTX 340
Description:  After spotting this snappy-looking switcher from the highway overpass, I found a rough but passable old road that led to the tracks, and was just in time to catch the 4-car train as it headed east. I tried to chase it, but completely lost it somewhere in Port Colborne, and finally gave up.

Title:  GMTX 340
Description:  Not long after CN Train 421 rolled by came this very sharp blue Trillium Railways switcher. I didn't know it at the time but I would run into this engine much later in the day when it was on the return trip to Welland.

GMTX 340
Title:  GMTX 340
Description:  One of my most unusual (lucky?) train pictures ever was this catch at the Welland Canal. Cargo ship MANITOULIN heads south through Lock 7, while Trillium Railways switcher chugs north along the tracks that wind their way into St. Catharines at Merriton. Long ago, this track crossed the seaway at Allanburg, but now serves industry only on the west side of the canal.

Description:  Sometimes you just don't get to the crossing in time. I heard this switcher working the small, and very hidden, yard just west of here, but was moments too late to get to the other side of the crossing for a better sun angle, and had to settle for this pic through my front windshield.

Description:  GMTX 340 waits for the signal before crossing the old Welland River lift bridge into Dain City industry. This bridge was made obsolete with the re-routing of the canal in the 1970s, cutting off this channel that runs straight through the city of Welland.

Description:  A drive over to Merriton in St. Catharines had me face to face with Trillium Railways snappy blue switcher, shuffling freight cars at the tiny siding adjacent to the CN Grimbsy Subdivision. When I noticed the train heading towards Port Colborne, the chase was on.

Description:  A quick check at the Trillium Railways engine yard showed that #340 was the only engine working, so after a short hunt, I caught it coming back from Dain City with a cut of tank cars. I was going to chase it for another pic at Pietz Road, but there was two police cars at the crossing with some Trillium people, so it appears that there may have been some vandalism to the signals overnight prompting a police investigation.
