So Close but no
After a three hour or so wait between the north bound and south bound Canyon trains, Watco's Agawa Canyon passenger trains returns south rolling across possibly the most well known spot on the entire former Algoma Central railroad. Unlike last year's trip to the bridge it wasn't a complete cloud screwing, only 1/2. 30 seconds makes a lot of difference and boy I am glad they weren't 30 seconds later. The southbound Canyon train and a northbound cloud met perfectly in the middle of the famed bridge making for a rather tense moment hoping the train would at least turn enough before the cloud took over the scene. Also unlike last year's fall, colors on the north side of Lake Superior were very non uniform and spotty with spots being a mix of yet to turn, half turned, peak and past all in one spot just like here. Closer to the Soo it was a lot more noticeable with lots of greens and then a great peak patch mixed in.
