This year, during the annual Durand Railroad Days, Durand was giving helicopter rides for 40 bucks to show the yard, station and town from the air!! I have not been on a helicopter in 11 years when I was at the Grand Canyon in Arizona with my family, so this was a must to do. I also wanted to time it just right with a train going through town, so when I saw Northbound CN train E251 lined into Gaines, I got tickets. Knowing the CN loves to line these trains as far north as they can do the light volume of traffic on the Holly sub. I knew I had a shot. So when I got on the helicopter, E251 was approaching the station and the pilot chased it for me back and forth between Pitt Junction and CP Clara which is west of Durand. Please ignore the talking, there was three other visitors on the plane thank you. I did my best filming it and I hope you all enjoy it! This was a huge highlight of 2024 indeed. Note this was shot on my IPhone as I did not have my big camera and tripod with me.
