Ballast power rolls across Dayton Street |
| Description: |
8WWA-24 has just cut off from their string of loads from the "Pit" just outside of Waterloo. Apparently the plan was to wye the power, which would have been a major bummer for me since I had gone after this train in the hope of chasing the SD60-3 leading back to Portage. |

Coupled Up |
| Description: |
Ready to pull the loaded ballast train around the tightly curving west leg of the wye. Due to the overcast, I decided to try the view from the north side of the tracks, so of course the sun promptly peeked out. Not for long, though. |

Entering home rails |
| Description: |
Leaving trackage rights over WSOR's Waterloo Sub, which CP acquired in 1998 after they sold the line to WSOR in order to retain access to the "Michels Pit" ballast transload site. 6302 is one of the first of the ten "SD60-3"rebuilds done at NRE Silvis, completed just before the "Golden Beaver" paint scheme was reintroduced late in 2017. |

In leaving this location to give chase to this train, I missed a grain train that it met just to the west. |

Rockin' |
| Description: |
Westbound intermodal/autorack train 199 running ahead of this train got bit by the MP 159.9 detector and had to come to a stop on the single track, forcing this train to drag their feet and allowing me to get ahead of them. |

CP 6302 |
| Description: |
Of the ten NRE Silvis SD60-3 rebuilds released starting in late 2017, 6300-02 were painted just prior to the reintroduction of the "Golden Beaver." This site has the wrong serial # in for this unit, placing this as ex-SOO 6036/CAD Rail rebuild CP 6236, which I personally have seen still on the rails after 2017. This is actually ex-SOO 6035, one of the nine that escaped the round of CAD Rail rebuilds. |
