For my friends up here in Canada - it looks like the CN (conductor) strike is tentatively over. The traffic on the CN line out back of my house has been virtually non stop with freight traffic. It must be a CTC operator's nightmare - but it's also a railfans dream. As CN empties yards all over Southern Ontario and moves the backlog - trains are using twice as much motive power and freights are twice the usual length. I really wish I wasn't heading into work this afternoon - it would be a great day to do some modelling at the kitchen table and watching the trains in the snow. Sometimes life is so unfair. :lightbulb: MMM Maybe a sick day tomorrow
