CN 2188
Title:  CN 2188
Description:  I was just in time to catch this short but interesting train that rumbled out of CN Southern Yard and headed for the CP Hamilton Sub at the Brookfield Wye with a freight transfer to CP Lambert Yard. Fortunately, I was getting all this talk between the RTC and the train on my scanner, so was able to catch this freighter twice again - on CP trackage running parallel to Townline Tunnel Road, and on the Forkes Road Wye where the track winds up to the junction at Yagar, just south of CN Southern Yard.
