| Description: |
Unfortunately, we received some daunting news once we began to make the drive up to Schoolcraft. Due to a major winter storm in Toronto a few days prior to our trip, a majority CN traffic had either been annulled for the day or was sitting tied down between Battle Creek and the portal in Detroit with no crew. So... that definitely put a damper on things. The closest CN train was A491 which was still well east of Battle Creek, and also the L521 local out of Battle Creek, if it would be running. The only hope was for the Elk Road train to run. Sure enough, it was going to make a daylight appearance, with a rare leader on top of that. For the past few weeks one of the former CN widecab GP40-2Ws had found its way on to the road train rotation. Usually these are kept in local service, but this one managed to find its way to the road pool. The train departed Elkhart headed back north as GDLK 102. After meeting the local at White Pigeon, we made a run back to Three Rivers and caught the train splitting the trilights at CP COWLEY on the north side of town. |

This was our only train anywhere close, and would be our final Elk train (at least until the local came back) so we knew we had to try to make chase to it. I was skeptical if we could hit the trilight at CP PARK on the other end of the siding. But, thanks to light traffic on US 131, we were able to get there just in the knick of time. |

Thanks to a slowdown over the CN at Schoolcraft, hitting the distant for the diamond at U Avenue was no problem. After this, we let the train go and headed back south. |
