Today or a year ago?
Waking up this morning to a blizzard of the white stuff reminded me of a trip to Palgrave nearly a year ago to the day. I was in the area and heard CP 6255 South get clearance from Spence to Bolton. Upon arriving at Palgrave, I was shocked to see the snow on the ground and trees. Soon enough, CP H17 crawled up the grade into Palgrave with SD60 6255 and an AC44. The crew was commenting that the "piece of crap" leader was barely pulling the train and the unexpected snowfall didn't help. Despite this, they crested the grade and made their way back to Toronto with no further issues.
