Memorable Moment |
| Description: |
Every picture has a story behind it, and this one is no exception. As usual, after class I went and checked the lights at Victoria St and thankfully it was green. So I decided to head over to Lexington Industrial Park to take advantage of the snow that was coming down. It wasn't long before I heard a low ominous bass off in the distance, shortly after I heard the distinctive sound of a horn. After a few minutes I then heard the low bass get much louder, a sure sign L517 was at Cardigan West climbing up grade. It got louder and more rich as the power got closer, it sounded like an older EMD, and was music to my ears. However, I still didn't know what the power was until I saw the gates at Lexington Ave drop and the lead unit exposed itself. Seconds later I got the shot you see above. It just goes to show that patience is well worth it! |

Since the gates at 37th are currently deactivated, the conductor needs to manually activate them. After the gates were down, the WC Transfer gets moving again. |

Snowing day on Shoreham Hill |
| Description: |
The WC transfer comes up to 37th and Stinson Ave while a heavy amount of snow comes down. While the snow helps to make for a nice picture, it makes it tough to get a clear shot. The camera tries to focus on the snow, rather then the power. |

Late Night Treat |
| Description: |
After class, as usual, I swung by the pole yards to see if L516 had departed yet. Thankfully it hadn't, and it had a great leader too! |
