CN 2222 at Mount Albert
North Bound CN
While one CN train transitions from the west leg of the wye to the north leg of the wye, a ballast train traverses the west leg of the wye as it approaches the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI, on 22 Aug. '25. Looking southwest from Arrowhead Park, a closed paper sludge landfill. Before the landfill was opened in the '50s, the south shore of Little Lake Butte des Morts came right up to the north leg of the wye.

This is as close as I could get to Train 421 after it arrived at the yard. And with another boat coming up the canal, it's 'Bon Voyage' to CN for another day.

Charging into Port Robinson yard behind three big ponies is CN Train 421.
Chasing boats on the canal had me at Port Robinson early enough to catch CN Train 421 coming into the yard. Really big train. 11,000 feet long (almost 2 miles). OK OK. 3.3 kilometres.
