With 155 cars in tow CP 6069 and 5946 head west on Hardisty sub. In 2019 a pair action red SD40-2s on the main line is a sight to be savoured.

With the sun shinning brightly and a beautiful leader on T76 I had to chase this guy. Here the local has just finished up switching Greenfield Ethanol (to the right) and will head east to switch other various spots along the Windsor sub.

A CN snowplow train blasts through the plowed-in crossing snowbanks, heading north from Hanover on CN's Owen Sound Sub. It was 5:15pm and already getting dark out when this winter evening shot was taken.

A long time favourite spot for me, I always loved the set up at Kitchener station especially with the H Krug furniture factory as a backdrop. It’s unfortunate that when CN took the subdivision back it moved all motive power to the yard. There was always something going on at the station it seemed, just like this day with GEXR 3835 receiving some mechanical attention and showing off its inners.

Back when CP trains to and from the US by way of Niagara Falls was commonplace, we see here a rather power-heavy #526; a Toronto to Buffalo train, rolling thru Queen Victoria Park. The Minolta Tower in the background is now the Skylon. Trains no longer traveled this route by early 1990, tracks taken up and valuable land used for construction of the massive Casino one sees there today. Mid-summer evening gave enough light for this lashup of CP 8228, 8240, 8224, 3060, 3119 and 8242 to be photographed. It was already past 8PM when the dispatcher was informed that 102 loads and 5 empties would be entering the United States. With several other trains doing this route daily, one has to wonder where all the traffic has gone..........

VIA 905 leads VIA 64 over the Lachine Canal as it approaches Wellington Tower. The train is running just a bit late, as always seems to be the case with this train.

This is an eastbound CP train running on CN's mainline west of Edmonton.
I had seen CN trains detour CP in Kicking Horse Pass, but they had a CP pilot engine leading. Perhaps the rules had changed in this regard, or maybe the CN route is simply less demanding. Either way, it was a pleasant surprise to see this train.
It was a little odd that a lowly empty grain train was detoured, though.

Power up front, steam generator on the back as what I believe is VIA coming down the back way into Union Station.

ON 1805 South stopped for a quick pickup with train "six ninety late" in Washago under the old signal tower that used to govern the 4 tracks previously running through town. Coming towards you from the far side you had the Newmarket main and the Newmarket siding, paralleled by the Bala main and the Bala siding. While only the Newmarket and Bala mains were used daily, it wasn't uncommon to see some work trains/through freights utilizing the Bala siding for leaving equipment/setting off bad order cars.

Plenty has changed from those days, now only the Bala main runs under the old signal tower, which has now been torn down and forgotten by most. The terribly unreliable Northlander (pictured here over an hour late) is no more, and the last locomotive to dawn ONR's Chevron paint scheme from the road power pool is mothballed waiting for an engine rebuild and slated for repaint in North Bay. I remember standing on the platform here as a kid waiting for one of the 8 signal lights on this old tower to change to any color, only to be disappointed when the Northlander came around the corner with a boring old Chevron unit. The things we take for granted...

The Herzog Ballast train drew quite the crowd this day but everyone had to play the waiting game. CPKC 238 had to come from the west and clear down the Hamilton sub, then the Herzog crew had to finalize the drop points before heading out to drop ballast. In the mean time, the GEXR train made an appearance and they had to wait for the electrical contracting crew to hook up the wiring for the lights and gates after the CPKC track workers completed some ballast replacement on their line. They then proceeded to drop off their cars on the number one siding in sections to not cross the derail. GEXR 2073 is observed dropping its second cut of cars in to the siding. The pair of KCS SD70MAC's in KCS 3928 and KCS 3937 would be about another hour before heading west to start dropping ballast on the Galt sub.
