Locomotives Everywhere!
Things were a bit messed up at Aldershot on Sunday. Trains 384, 422, and 385 all worked the yard, nearly at the same time. CN 385 stopped to exchange a dead GECX 7342 for CN 8861, while CN 550 was also having issues with CN 4803, first shutting down and then revving uncontrollably. From left to right, CN 4803 was parked on track 39 for the mechanical department to look at (and shut off), SD70M-2's CN 8861-8835 sit on the other end of track 39 after being set off by 422, CN 550 switches the lower yard with GMTX GP38-2 #2323 and a CN GP38-2W, another GMTX/CN set of power spends the day parked at the east end of the yard (later to be lifted by 434), a dead GECX 7342 sits on track 33 with CN 2250 (planned for the ballast train), and CN 385 heads down to the east end of the yard with CN 5404-GECX 9147 to lift CN 8861.Ten locomotives in all!
