Viewing Album:  Ontario Trains - Niagara Region - February 2019 - Part 1
 
By:Neil Barratt
Dates:2/14/2019 - 2/14/2019
Album Info:A very busy and satisfying month of train chasing, with Mother Nature making things very interesting. Lots of snow, and a two-day storm that blanketed everything in a thick, shiney coat of ice. AMTRAK stands out with four appearances at three locations, plus my usual assortment of CN and CP freighters in action. I had so many pics this month, I separated them into two Parts, with Part 1 covering pics up to February 14, 2019.

CN 5644
Title:  CN 5644
Description:  Ice Storm 1 - I finally ventured out to see what was left of the nasty 2-day ice storm that coated everything down here with a slick, thick, layer of ice, and was pleasantly surprised that much of the ice was still clinging, making for some interesting pics of today's trains. First Train 421, here at Clifton on the CN Grimbsby Subdivision, then the AMTRAK Maple Leaf at Portage Road overpass, then Train 562 being built at Port Robinson yard, a brisk chase to catch Train 331 at Garner Road, and then back to the south end of Port Robinson yard for one more look at Train 562 as the power trio backed onto its completed train.

Title:  AMTK 110
Description:  A couple of pics of the AMTRAK Maple Leaf. Although there are a number of different tracks and spurs, veering off in all directions, there are few trains here anymore, with most of the industrial spurs essentially unused. Trillium Railway switches a few nearby local industries, and uses this siding on weekdays.

Description:  I couldn't have asked for better sunshine this morning. as I watched Train 421, first here at the south yard entrance, as it approaches Canby Street, then as it went back into the yard.
