CN truly threw everything they could at me and two other railfans tonight in Royal Oak. An all EMD show, caboose, GT painted GP38-2 on the L513 turn AND the GTW heritage unit leading a HUGE L508! Definitely a must see for those who like glimpses into the past when railfanning was a lot cooler...

You picked a nice spot for night videoing by being near the lamps
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Careful venturing too far off the platform in Royal Oak. You might meet a CN police officer.

Great video. I guess I'm getting old. Those chargers with the LED ditch litghts flashing will never get me as excited as an F40PH with strobe lights
The dispatcher is cool.
