CN 6077 rounding the wye at Capreol, ON
Wouldn't it be great to bring the 6077 back to life and take for a spin down the Bala? Especially when you're wandering around aimlessly in Capreol waiting for a train/locomotive to show up.
I'm only correct in my train ETA assumptions when I decide not to show up. When I do show up it is, 9 times out of ten, delayed for whatever reason to the point where I am pulling my hair out as (seemingly) endless hours pass by.
Yesterday was a similar scenario when I had calculated the CN 112s arrival in Capreol at around 1700. The intercept target, to be more specific, was actually the 3069 Wisconsin Central locomotive from CN's Heritage fleet; that I had determined would likely be running down the Bala after dark. After milling about for hours I finally abandoned all hope when the 112 arrived after dark. Luckily, the train was stuck in Capreol for many hours and I was able to catch it a little closer to home early this morning.
