Canadian Pacific Christmas Train

The Canadian Pacific Christmas Train will be passing through the downriver area on November 30th. From what info I can find, it will pass Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park between 6 and 9pm. The track it uses will take it past the crossing at Pardee near Ecorse Rd which means it will pass Monroe and Ecorse Rd. Sometime between 9 and 11pm. I am going to try to get there. Tried figuring it out on CP's website but to no avail. Info is from a News-Herald article and a posting on Facebook.

Train arrived in Windsor at 4:30pm.  They held an even till 6pm.  Train should be on the move.  It will also do a slow roll near a park in Romulus off of Goddard just west of the airport.

Intersting in another life I was a mild train aficionado. But since it was just me and my grandfather, then just me I wandered away from the subject.

Train finally showed up around 9:30.  But it didn't really slow down.  So I had to do quick pics.  Because of that I didn't think to check camera settings.  Turned out I was still set to manual settings which were adjusted for moon shots so unless I can work some magic, all the pics are crap.  Saw on the news that the train slowed to a crawl at Thunderbowl.  Had I gone there as I originally planned I would have checked the pics as I took them and could have made adjustments.
