GMTX 340
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.

LTEX 1014
Title:  LTEX 1014
Description:  I didn't make it to the sunny side of the tracks in time to catch the Oxyvinals switcher, so had to settle for this backlit shot at the grade crossing. But it does provide an interesting angle looking back into the plant and loading bay.
