CN 5401 and GECX 7367 are on the way east at 8:10 with a train of tanks and hoppers. I'm happy to report that leased loco's are still a common sight in Edmonton.

Two trains (M37721-06 & M32121-06) are parked near a crossing at MP 202.77 of CN's Kingston Sub, unable to continue west due to a protest on CN's main line along Tyendinaga Mohawk territory at the time. Apparently the line has reopened this evening. Of note is that GECX 2038 will soon be repainted into CN colours and receive a CN number.

People linger in Toronto Union Station's Great Hall on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Some buying tickets from the customer service agents at the wickets, some browsing for a good book to read on the train before theirs is due to depart, others waiting for loved ones and friends to arrive on inbound trains from far off places across the province and country. The Flag of Ontario watches on over all, one of the many flags that adorn the walls of the Great Hall near the upper passageways of the station.

This is one of my favorite Del Rosamond images. I’m guessing it was taken around 1959. Unfortunately, he rarely made any notes on the edges of his large format slides (2.75” squared). Del didn’t live far from where this picture was taken. I wonder if he heard the distinctive Northern whistle and decided to go over and check out the action.

I admire the way that Del purposely included the railway crew in his images. In this shot we can see the engineer and fireman preparing for departure. As I reflect on my own photography back in the 70’s, I tried pretty hard to make sure that no people “ruined” my shots. I realize now how short sighted that was. In many cases, it is the human factor that makes a photograph interesting. Just my two cents worth.

My RPca e-mail pal, Dave Tinslay, tells me that he’s building a time machine. When he gets the bugs worked out, I’m hoping he’ll let me borrow the keys. I’d love to zoom back and go rail-fanning with Del. I’ve learned that he was a real gentleman. It would be awesome to see some of these Northern-types in action and to witness the final days of Canadian steam.

If Dave filled the tank and loaned you the keys, where would you go?

A westbound CP intermodal on the outskirts of Lytton B.C., where the Thompson and Fraser rivers converge, and a railway town well known for its summer heat waves, and therefore often ... the hottest spot in Canada.

CP 5666 was retired in 2007 and sold for parts in 2009. The 5659 was sold in 1999, and the 5848 in 2004.

Spending time in Agawa Canyon was an amazing experience. Alone with nature and a beautiful environment, except for a coupe of hours of a day when tourists arrived to share the place. My wife gives a big wave to Ken Gonneville, the engineer on the days Tour Train as it approaches Agawa Canyon Park. Luckily she did decide to give me a ride back to the other side.
