A nice little 4-car train passes by mile 6 on the Edson sub. Lead loco #5373 is one of CN's 10 ex-UP SD40-2s, and started out as Missouri Pacific #806. Notice the lack of a shock absorber on the middle axle of the front truck.

A bit rough but a seldom seen image location; TH&B 72 and 403 are on the east leg of the wye at Smithville, coming off the mainline with a train for Port Maitland. Track thru here was removed many years ago. Port Maitland is now serviced by a connection from Welland Yard.

The elusive Resolute Forest Products switcher, ex CN 1305 (last reported as DESX 1305) makes its infrequent, two mile run to a yard at the end of the CN Thorold spur. I had known about this operation for a while, and had made four attempts over the last 3 years to 'catch' it - just by chance - they run on an infrequent and seemingly random schedule - and this time I got lucky. What the line lacks in scenery is made up for in, well, variety - not many Green switchers out there in this Country. With only a single car - I kind of wonder how much longer this operation will last. The nearby Georgia-Pacific plant was idled in 2014 and the also nearby Hayes-Dana frame plant has been idle since 2008. This spur was once very very busy - and not to mention the Pulpwood trains that were unloaded here - long gone - see an Arnold Mooney photo in suggested photos below.

Crew change at Lillooet, having arrived from Williams Lake and exchanged pleasantries with the out bound crew, I was waiting for the train to depart and do a rollby inspection. Later next morning the process would be reversed and I would be departing for Williams Lake. A cold drab September afternoon. Of note the second unit is the 8018 formerly PC 3133, which I may very well have seen years earlier at Canfield Junction.

There are two things I likely will never see again at what once was a busy junction station: passengers waiting for the 'hopefully on time' train, and the interior waiting room of the station. Of course, it had been about 20 plus years since this station received the 'VIA' makeover, with their typical red shingled roofing from that era. Somehow, from the sagging exterior, leaky roof inside the waiting room, and overall dilapidated appearance I feel like this country gem is on borrowed time.

It doesn't matter where this photo is, it could be anywhere, but as a friend Ryan Gaynor said - lightning stripes and pans just look good. I agree. Also on my 80-400 f/5.6 and I am surprised this one turned out.. I rarely pan with that big honkin lens and when I do they don't usually work :)

Canadian Pacific flanger 400404 is seen amid other freight equipment in the yard in London in 1966. Like CN, CP also had their own flanger cars stationed around the system for clearing snow and ice from the flangeways between rails.
<br><br>
Like many other flangers CP had, this car had been converted from one of CP's fleet of steel "minibox" boxcars originally built in 1929/1930 (that were shorter in height than most regular steel boxcars). As newer larger boxcars displaced them, many miniboxes migrated into maintenance of way service, including becoming tool cars, bunk cars, flangers, and generator cars. On this car, twin flanger blades have been mounted behind each of the trucks, a cupola added to the roof, access doors cut into the sides, and the old center 5' sliding door has been removed and opening covered over to match the rest of the body.

Two GE centre cab light duty switcher locomotives sit lifeless at the Thompson's grain elevator in Blenhiem, the first being the newer addition; BUCYRUS #8302 is seen boarded up after a young vandal smashed out its windows shortly after arrival. The second is ex Greater Winnipeg Water District #100, she's a 44 ton locomotive with 3 other sisters also residing in Ontario, one being on Thompson's property at the Grain Elevator in Kent-Bridge Ontario, and the two others now belonging to Port Stanley Terminal Rail of which one is running as L3 "Winnie" after her former home.

Please note that this is PRIVATE PROPERTY. The locomotives are visible from the road and it can be tempting to wander back to them for a look, it is alway recommended to obtain the required permission before doing so.

The Parliament Buildings loom over the early morning scene at Ottawa Union Station, as the first section of the <i>"Dominion"</i> pauses before departing for Montreal. Shortly before this scene, the train was photographed <a href=https://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=57136>having just crossed the Alexandra bridge.</a>
