1/1 - Tuesday, December 5, 2017

Special thanks to KevinT, who posted in the facebook group that 502 was out on the move! It was under the Weber St. Bridge, and moved into the yard. The robot pulled it back into the OMSF. I suspect I must have just caught the tail end of the activities for the day. This was around noon.

Nice pics! I haven't yet attended one of the open house tours (or to be honest, closely looked at a floorplan) but are all the seating arrangements like what's shown in the second pic? Lots of legroom!

Here's a video of 504 passing through Belleville from the Facebook group.

Why am I not surprised?

What did they end up showing off?
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.

It's still postponed, for unknown reasons.

I think the comment above (hinting at the fact they cannot meet any deadline) seems fair, esp. considering very few things have met the expected dates. 

Can't think of a media event cancelled because a reporter was ill.  Just send another reporter....

Freight train had four tankers and nothing else going up tonight. So I guess 504 stays at Lancaster overnight.
