Another rail fanning and nature tour with Felix Lesiuk and Louis Lenz

Maybe it's due to the COVID-19 cabin fever rali fans have been experiencing, but we had an unusually large response on social media from our last post on long time WMRC member Felix Lesiuk's last rail fanning trip. Fortunately, he took another trip right after that, this time with his stalwart companion and long time WMRC member Louis Lenz.

Along with some great CP shots, Felix took some interesting images of some rarely seen CEMR and CN 100 motive power. He also indulged in some nature photography, capturing images of a red wing blackbird, some lady slippers and a dragonfly. Enjoy!

Rail fanning and crocus sightings with Felix Lesiuk

Our longstanding contributor Felix Lesiuk went on only one rail fan trip this past month. His rail fanning partner Louis Lenz wasn't able to make it, so he went down along the Sprague line with his wife Karen to check out the CN trains and the Crocuses. Karen had never gone with Felix to see the Crocuses before, and they were in full splendor. The rest of the pictures are from CP along Hwy 221.
