On Saturday, I was hiking in the Limehouse area with my son. When we reached the train bridge in the village of Limehouse, our timing couldn't have been better for viewing a freight train! As far as I know, it is the CN Halton Sub that passes through Limehouse -- please let me know if I'm wrong here!
We spotted the train's headlights in the distance. From our viewing point on the bridge, it was hard to figure out what the locos' colour schemes were. It looked like the first loco was a BC Rail engine. But what I found interesting was that there were 5 or 6 engines hauling this train -- I've hardly ever seen so many. They also seemed to be of various colour schemes (I don't think I saw any in the usual CN livery). Also, the freight train was fairly short. I've seen ones that are 2-3 times longer hauled by 2 or 3 locos.
At any rate, I found all this rather interesting and just wondering if anyone can comment on this.
Thanks!
Rob
