So I'm back from Edmonton. Right after I landed and I was on the way to get the rental car, I saw a nice CP doublestack going by, so that got me excited. Unfortunately, my railfanning time was very short. On the day budgeted, I woke up late and was feeling sick. I spent about 2 hours or so outside before I couldn't take it anymore and went back to the hotel for sleep. I went to the Bretville Junction to see the bridge first. I saw a nice long CN train getting ready to cross the bridge. I tried to go to the ski park to get a shot of the train. But as I was looking for somewhere with a good view, I heard the second train go by. Finally I got out of the car and started to try to find a place with a good view. I took this shot: <br /> <br />[img]http://image64.webshots.com/64/7/50/72/2781750720079371331CQtFgN_ph.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />Then I started down the path and the bridge was out of sight. Of course that's when the CN train went over the bridge! I ran ahead and caught a peek of the last few cars passing over. <br /> <br />On the way back to the hotel, I drove a loop around Walker Yard. Very nice, but I didn't see an obvious place to park and look around so I kept going. <br /> <br />Thanks for everyone's advice, maybe I'll make it back one day (if I can score tickets for Game 6!!)
