Скачать или смотреть CP 643 meets CP 234 at Elmsley Siding

(Please watch in 720p HD)

CP 643 with their three SD40-2 are in the CTC siding at Elmsley. Waiting to meet CP 234, then head west but a small mechanical problem occurs in which delays their trip west.

In the meantime, CP 234 with an AC4400CW and an SD40-2 approaches, then passes CP 643. Though you cannot see it while driving down the highway towards Perth, in this video, you can see the grades the CPR's predecessor's faced when building the Perth branch from Smiths Falls. It's a uphill climb to Perth.

As CP 234 approaches, then passes the east end of the Elmsley siding and Churchill Road, the crew gives an extra whistle. A nice long train of mixed freight passes by and then I head home after a good day of railfanning CP's Belleville Subdivision.
