Standard Cab Leading |
| Description: |
Today, class got out early and I was fortunate enough to hear L517 blowing its horn at Lexington Ave. So I hurried over to New Brighton and was able to catch it before the transfer crew took over. |

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! |

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. |
