CP TEC Train Update
The CP train left Mattawamkeag at 10:05 our time. It should be in McAdam at or about noon, then leave around 30 minutes later, arriving in Saint John by 2:30 or so. Hopefully the rain will let up so people can take some photos. I doubt I will see it today.
Hi Steve. It just left McAdam about 15 minutes ago. (1215) The unit looks like it could use a paint job! Lots of tourists stopping here at the station wondering what the CP "passenger train " was!
Yes I belive it was. It's not in the latest Canadian Pacific paint scheme but rather the one with the Canadian and American flags on it. I wonder if they will be doing the south line too? They have been hauling a fair bit of ballast down there lately. By the way CN 7038 is back on the south freight again this week.
I'm a train geek (or #Railfans as they say on G+) and a "learning" photographer. But most of all I'm a father and husband. I used to be an army brat and traveled frequently when I was a child.
I try to be a decent person. Most times I succeed, sometimes I'm a jerk. I try to do better next time.

Thanks Jody, sounds like it is right on time. Was CP 3065 the engine?

Chem Teacher from Oromocto High School days was in Harvey and was able to snap off a few pix as it rolled by.
