I wish I knew exact times, but from the times that I've caught it, it usually goes through Bells Corners these days between 8:45 and 9:45, in Arnprior around lunch time, and returns anytime between 2:30 and 4:00.<br /><br />Below is a link to a couple of shots that I've managed to get of it: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dwmccorm/sets/72157651632889828/<br /><br />DaveMDaveMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058463713656836821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-355869088349963542015-04-18T09:51:43.682-04:002015-04-18T09:51:43.682-04:00Looking forward to seeing the 589 post Michael!

I headed out in hopes of getting some shots just as I hear the sound of the horn in the distance. I really wish I had more knowledge on the times of this train.

Eric -- I hope my story of "catching" 589 makes up for the quality of the photos. AJ - I'm hoping local railfans can build up a bank of information on this train so we can catch it more.

Of course, as luck would have it, I walked out of the front doors of my building just in time to hear a horn blast. Guess I'll have to try again next week....AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13805174926952294860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-71398723841993438112015-04-16T19:03:25.833-04:002015-04-16T19:03:25.833-04:00Liking your new header photo, and in the post (wit...Liking your new header photo, and in the post (with or without O-Train), Michael.
