Today around 10:30 I found out on my scanner that there were going to be some trains coming through Grimsby. At 12:00PM I found out that 4 were coming and I phoned my friend Daniel in St.Catharines to tell him.
Right when I got off the phone I heard CN 339 in Grimsby at the train station. I quickly got over to the train station to find 339 stopped and the crossing was down. I had to take a little detour 2 minute detour to get to the other side so I could get pictures of the train. As 339 was parked another railfanner from Grimsby pulled up to get pictures of it. When it started up, one of the workers was waving and yelling "hi".
As 339 passed I heard on my scanner that I had almost an hour or more for another train to come. I went and grabbed a ice cream cone and came back to the station. I heard more on my scanner and I decided to go back home for a hour.
When I got home I saw that my friend had called. Right when I called him 338 and 94 pulled in to St.Catharines. Via 94 had the Telus engine. I waited 10 minutes and went over to Nelles to get 338 and 94.
As I getting out of my house I heard "CN 338 cleared on Approach to Nelles". I got over to Nelles in time to get some pictures and some videos. CN 338 passed with engines CN 2249 and CN 2550. 10 minutes after 338, Via 94 came by with the Telus engine and 3 cars.
When I left Nelles I wanted to go over to Baker Road to see if the light was green. I looked down the tracks and it was flashing orange. I waited a minute and it turned Green. I knew 332 was coming. I heard clear the signals and I got some pictures of it. I got bad pictures of it because I couldn't go behind the road because of construction. 332 had a old and rusty 5265.
I had a fun 2 hours railfanning and I only got to see the Telus engine and CN 338 thanks to my friend Daniel.
