4__ CP 8901 NB Brant, AB, CA 06192025 (8)
It is late in the day after a cockpit windshield shattering resulted in what should have been a noon departure from Calgary into a more like 7:30pm departure. Hopes dashed that we would get to see anything this day, we still elected to follow the tracks instead of making a beeline for our destination of Lethbridge. It turned out to the the right move as we were able to catch this northbound freight passing the elevator in Brant, AB with a nice consist of CP, KCS Grey, KCSM Grey, and CPKC power. Sure would have been nice to be able to chase it all the way up from Kipp Yard. Especially with a cranky EOTD that limited them to 25mph...
