Emporia Sub Exploits

I decided to give my new digital Rebel a workout with a trainwatching trip. I headed out to the Eisenhower Terrace bridge on the west side of Ottawa, on the BNSF Emporia Sub

1257: BNSF 912, 7817, and CN 2660 lead a eastbound Manifest

1307: NS 9458 leads a set of eastbound roadrailers

1317: BNSF 4770, 7044, and NS 8585 leads a eastbound Manifest

1327: BNSF 4302, 343, 4517, and 7695 lead eastbound trailers
BNSF 7695 is a new ES44DC with the third variant of the BNSF H2 scheme, with the new logo in yellow lettering.

1340 BNSF 4953, BNSF 4361, NS x-Conrail 8420, and BNSF 8083 lead a eastbound “brown” train

1351 BNSF 5349, 4659, and 556 lead eastbound stacks

1408 BNSF 6804 and 7023 lead a very short eastbound, it may have been a “local”

1416 BNSF 4253, 4259, 4256, and 4271 lead a westbound. Considering the fact that there was 4 B23-7s, it may be a local as well.

1420 BNSF 4101 and 4995 lead a eastbound Grain
4101’s train became visible before 4253 west cleared the bridge. I also heard on the scanner that 4101 needed its porta-potty cleaned
