CP 426 with 7 engines!

Today at about 11:30AM my friend Ryan called me to tell me that CP 426 was coming my way with some really good engines. My friend also saw the train yesterday http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=DwBu25KtNGk.
I decided I wanted to go up on the Escarpment to see it. I had my scanner set to the CP Hamilton Sub for about 4 hours and I finally heard the train get a clearance out of Kinnear. About 30 minutes later I decided to go up to see it because CP 246 was in front of it.

When I got the the intersection to where I normally turn I saw that the road was closed. I had to take a 10 minute detour. As I was on my way I heard the hotbox detector go off at MP44.9. I had to rush if I was going to see 246. I decided to turn down a road that had a crossing with no gates and only a crossbuck. I found that because of so much extra traffic there was no where to get pictures. So I was on the move to not miss 426.

After another 10 minutes of driving I was finally at MP40. Not even 5 minutes after I got there I heard CP 426's horn. Another 5 minutes passed when the train came by. The train came by with engines CP 8750, 9580,GCFX 3095,3102, 3064,3098, RPRX 2405. When the last car on the train passed I turned my tripod trying to get a good video and I realized that I had my camcorder in the wrong mode and I never got a video! But I did get some nice pictures.
