NS 369 and more in Fort Erie

Today I went to Fort Erie. Not even 5 minutes after I got there I heard a train honking for the bridge. I got ready for it when I heard on my scanner it was CN 338. CN 338 came by with engines CN 2418 and CN 5551. I was kind of mad when CN 338 was stopped in the yard for almost 40 minutes. 10 minutes after CN 338 came, a pair of CN High Rail trucks came over from Buffalo.

Another 30 minutes passed when I heard NS 369 telling a CN worker it was coming. Then after that I heard NS 369 honking for the International Bridge. I saw a blue engine in the lead and I knew it was a Conrail. I was very excited to see a Conrail engine come out of the bridge. NS 369 had engines NS 8439 and NS 8807. I really liked the train because it had a Conrail in the lead and a NS Dash 8 as it's second unit.

Another 5 minutes and I heard that NS 369 had to clear the bridge because CN 332 was coming. It took another 10 minutes for CN 332 to pass Fort Erie but when it came it had 1 engine and it was a CN Dash 8. When I was leaving Fort Erie I wanted to stop near the end of the yard to try and get NS 369 and CN 331. I got CN 331 because it was very easy to see but I couldn't get pictures of NS 369 because it was being blocked by bushes. I had a fun day of railfanning.
