GMTX 340
Title:  GMTX 340
Description:  After spotting this snappy-looking switcher from the highway overpass, I found a rough but passable old road that led to the tracks, and was just in time to catch the 4-car train as it headed east. I tried to chase it, but completely lost it somewhere in Port Colborne, and finally gave up.

Title:  GMTX 340
Description:  Not long after CN Train 421 rolled by came this very sharp blue Trillium Railways switcher. I didn't know it at the time but I would run into this engine much later in the day when it was on the return trip to Welland.
