I knew that this train was on its way, so after my first trip to Northtown, I went home for a short while and returned later in the day. I came back in search of only one thing, the trailing SD40-2 on this train, which is confined to Canada most all the time. Today it returned to home rails, plying rail on the old SOO Line. |

A unit that rarely comes south of Canada anymore, returns to its former stomping grounds on Train 498 this afternoon. I have always wished for these to be assigned back on the SOO, but since that isnt planned, I have to hope for them to break away from the Canucks. Today that happened! |

With a heads up from the West Hump, I caught a consist that pretty much anyone can like. Besides the main reason of coming down to see this train (the four CITX's), I thought It was funny that the lead unit doesn't have the bell uptop anymore, quite rare for a CP engine. |
