June 22nd, 2006 June 22nd, 2006 Today I railfanned just east of town on the other side of Antigonish Landing, primary do to the scenic backdrop. The power was provided by the usual five engines, hauling the typical train, along with an odd flatcar and 15 CN ore gondolas, not to mention less tankers then usual.
