After arriving in Englehart yesterday, our plans were to railfan our way to Hearst, arriving just before the dinner with other convention attendees. So were up early enough to catch the morning lineup, and meet with Peter Ross as he stopped by the station. Our plan was to see what was moving in Englehart, and get to Cochrane in time to catch the 313 departing for Hearst.

The chase begins as 313 departs approximately 1130 for Hearst. Some quick planning and were off.

While there are several great locations to catch 313, we plan our first for Poplar Rapids. Lots of growth at track level so Bram and I make our way through the brush to catch it close to water level.

| A little post production by Bram and we get a true flying saucer pacing the 313. Those two green guys staring out the lower windows were railfanning as well. |
