    Dangerboy, thanks for posting those! She sure is a pretty engine, and it's great to see her running all over the CPR system this year. Wish I could be there. :D

    You could ride behind her in those GO coaches for 25 bucks,but the windows don't open,so I figured I would have more fun chasing her.They only called for an assist from the GO engine twice from what I understand.It was definatly pushing as they climbed through Appleby Line.

    I would have had no Idea if not for the internet.I think I first saw the schedule on a forum,then was sent the sched. by a guy I met railfanning here in Kitchener.She is still in Toronto as I type this.I think she is heading north this Sat or Sunday.People are planning to chase her.Here is a link to a yahoo group all about her.

    She came through Milton on Monday the 10th,went to Guelph Jct.,turning south to go to Hamilton,then returning the same route the next day.I caught her tues.morn,just dumb luck I had my camera.
    These are some pics from that day.
