On Wednesday (June 7, 2022), I walked from our lake-side cabin at Moosehead, Maine to Canadian Pacific\u2019s East Outlet Bridge with the hope of catching the eastward 132 freight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not long after I arrived, the skies opened to a light drizzle. Gradually drizzle turned to a steady rain. The rain stirred up Maine\u2019s famous mosquitoes. So after more than an hour of waiting under a tree, I was beginning to question my intentions. Yet having stood out in the elements, I decided to wait a while longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, off to the west, I heard a distant train whistle! Hooray, it had to be CP\u2019s 132! (Normally the railroad only operates one train east and one west every 24 hours.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After another seven minutes, the sky brightened and a headlight came into view. By the time the train reached the East Outlet Bridge at Moosehead, the sun was out and shining brightly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My perseverance was rewarded! Walking back to the cabin, I claimed this effort as a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
