On Tuesday night, I decided to venture in to Saint John to catch the nightly potash train. I figured they'd be a little earlier than normal, since CN 406 was early that day. Sure enough, at around 22:00AST, I caught CN 594 crossing over Rothesay Ave in Saint John, NB, en route to Courtnay Bay to set off the full cars, and pick up empties for the return trip.
I don't catch this train very much, as it's mostly an overnight train, and it's times can vary.

Some Updates - Train Show and Eastbound
It's been a while since I last did an update. It seems like that's the routine lately. Hopefully when things quieten down in the New Year, I can update the blog on a regular basis.
I won't go in to too much detail with this post. I've shot a few trains since my last post. On Saturday, November 5th, I was at the Saint John Model Train Show. It looked like a great turnout, with some great layouts as well. I only shot one video, of an N-Scale model.
A few days later, a friend of mine, Mike R, was driving the daily eastbound freight through Rothesay, NB.
Hopefully more updates to follow.

Quick Saturday Video
I was up in Moncton Friday night with a few friends just hanging out, having a mini "railfan video night".
I got up early Saturday morning before heading back home, and decided to try and catch CN 120. To my discovery, they were on the move to Halifax by 3:30am. The entire trip would have been pretty much in the dark, so I would have to make due.
At around 5AM, they pass through Maccan, NS, about 7 miles south of Amherst.
After that, I decided to head home.

Google+
I'm trying my hand with this whole G+ thing. If you want to add me to your circles, I think this is the link:
https://plus.google.com/106456175400126599539
It's obviously going to be a mostly train related themed page.
