New SD70M-2 sighting
I guess my plans to keep up with posting here have fallen by the wayside.
Ok, here's my new years resolution...starting....now!
Last Wednesday, I found out that two SD70M-2's and a dash 9 will be on the Moncton-Saint John train 406. One of the SD70M-2's was brand new 8884. I decided after work to venture out and capture it at a few locations.
The first was at Rothesay, NB, and about 13 miles up the line at Hampton, NB.

New Year, New Post
Oh..
I suppose I should do a post. It's been a few months, plus it's a new year. This will be one of my new years resolutions, to post more in the good old blog.
After receiving some gift cards from Futureshop, I ventured out and bought a brand new camera.

Mine is an SD10, but I can't see any difference between the 10 and the 20. Plus, due to the Boxing Day sale, it was pretty much half price. I just had to...I just had to.
Here is the second video that I shot with it. The first one didn't turn out the way I wanted to, so I won't post it.
What do you think? So far, I think it's worth the money, especially 50% off. There's still some browsing around and work which needs to be done, but I like it so far.
Happy New Year to my loyalreaders reader.

A Couple Of Trains On A Rainy Sunday
It's been awhile since I last made a post. I'll try to update this week about my adventures which happened over the last month or so. For today, I'll post about, well, what happened today.
As one of my rare "full" days off from work, I decided to venture out to catch CN 406 on it's last leg of the trip to Saint John. At around 2pm, I went to Tennis Court Road and waited. At around 2:35pm, CN 406 west came through with 56 cars, with 2527 & 2277 for power.
After that, I went home for a bit, knowing that I had some time before they left Saint John. At around 5pm, I heard them receive their clearance to depart Saint John, and I darted back out to Rothesay, this time, at a different location. At roughly 5:30pm, CN 406 east came by with 2277 and 2527 for power, hauling 40 cars.
That was all for today. Not bad for a day off.

Lack Of Updates - New Video
Sorry, It's been awhile since I've last posted on here. I've just been pretty busy over the last month or so. As well, I'm sorry that I didn't finish the Grand Falls Adventure, but I'm hoping to get another one in really soon.
More updates to come. To keep you occupied, here's a video that I shot today, September 2nd, of CN 406 west through Rothesay, NB. A rare occurance, an SD70M-2 unit, 8805, having a Nathan P5 horn. It's a pretty unique catch.
Enjoy.
