Nope, still in Lancaster

Sounds like an all-nighter training session. Also a good time to practice their storm protocol Wink

EDIT: They packed up and returned to the OMSF last train entered the yard at around 3:30 AM

I saw them out at 6:10am Friday, didn't get them number so maybe they just switched trains/operators

Edit: This was at R&T heading south

Interesting that they are leaving 20 minutes to go one stop from Waterloo Public Square to Waterloo Park, but 15 mins to go from there all the way to Conestoga Smile

I hadn't noticed that.

I was surprised UW was not on the list. But I guess they did some promotional work their a few months ago right?

This list is a tease, I would like to be on it between the stops not at the stops.

That’s why the engines are different. I saw it go past my window but didn’t connect the engines with the change in operator. My kid will miss the “LLPX brothers”.
