CN 416 had the WC heritage leader coming into Edmonton. We went to 149th St to catch it coming into town, where it met 303. We then went over to Bissel yard to see if we could find the IC heritage GP40-Slug set, CN 7601/601, and then caught 735 and 114 at Bretville Junction. After, we chased 522 to Fort Saskatchewan, catching an industrial Genset at a facility near the Vegreville sub, CN 538 waiting on the Beamer Industrial Spur waiting for CN 808, chasing 538 back toward Edmonton after the meet before calling it a day.
