***CN/CP
Ontario Directional Running Zone Ontario ; northbounds on the CP Parry Sound
Sub and southbounds on the CN Bala Sub between CN Boyne/CP Reynolds and CN/CP
Saint Cloud. CN uses their symbol format ¡°CN H10031 10 for CP train 100-05¡± and
CP uses a Q, three digits and date ¡°CP Q111-10 for Q11131 10. For simplicity I
will just keep the road symbols.

I head out
in search of trains from the cottage just outside of Boyne. A pair of
southbounds and a northbound to start things off on this quiet day.

After a
relaxing afternoon on the lake I head out for the evening rush around Rosseau
Road and Parry Sound. Nothing to special today.
