Passing Trains

            On a moonless night in MacTier, Ontario, a pair of Canadian Pacific trains meet in the inky darkness of northern Ontario. Having just relieved it's Cartier crew at the crew change point in town, Winnipeg to Toronto train no. 420 hasn't made it far before their next stop. Cooling their heels at the south siding for a meet with hotshot train no. 101, CP 6644 slumbers in the stillness of the night under the close guard of an ageing searchlight signal. Eventually, rails glow to life, the forest emerges from the darkness and the unmistakable whine of GEs approaches. Then, just as quick as they approached, once again fade into the dark as no. 101 screeches into MacTier for a crew change. Meanwhile, engineer Assad pays close attention, giving 101 a roll-by inspection. It's a good inspection. Highball, MacTier! And like that, 101 presses on towards Vancouver and 420 eases through Cottage Country for the overnight run into Toronto.
