Shot at 600mm with my Sigma 150-600mm lens, a trio of green leads NBSR train 907, as they head down grade approaching Cork, New Brunswick. The telephoto shot makes the grade look steeper than it actually is.

Back to my oldies.. Here we have CN 513 heading west near Shedden Ontario. I was departing London after my "stag night" with a pounding headache (I wonder why!) and heard the OCS clearance on the CASO sub from St Thomas to Ridgetown for 513 ,who would have had work at the Thompsons elevator at Rodney. The chase was on - my one and only shot at photographing a train on the CASO between St Thomas and Fargo - at this time CASO trains from St Thomas ran once a week with about 20 to 30 cars. A real shame they couldn't just run to Rodney from Chatham - why they abandoned it in this manner is beyond me, but given how the CASO was handled it's no surprise.

CN M320 exits CP's Detroit River Rail Tunnel after being rerouted from the Flint Sub in Michigan due to the ongoing tunnel closure in Port Huron/Sarnia. M320 is the train's reroute ID but I'm unsure of what the regular ID would have been. CN is rerouting several trains via CP's tunnel between Windsor and Detroit and then utilizing the Chrysler Spur and VIA/CN Chatham Subs to get to the Strathroy Sub at Komoka.

Could not resist taking a picture of this pair. The 9151 is parked for whatever reason. The 1508 has its stacks capped, I believe it has just arrived. Possibly waiting to be setup to go to work. It did work the City yard downtown for awhile. The 5362 has just been started and is about to go into the shop. Taken on the east side of the shops, using Ektachrome film.

CP 255 had pretty decent power. Too bad the SD40-2 wasn't in the lead. Oh wait... Change of plans. 255 had arrived in Welland with CP 9808 leading in the morning, and its radiator went on a protest. Many hours later, 5966 is leading the power in the opposite direction (east) to Brookfield, where they will be able to wye the power so 5966 can lead 255 to Windsor. The crew wasted no time, and has gotten up to track speed in less than half a mile after leaving O'Reilly's yard. In second is CSX (ex Seaboard) 8539, and 9808 with a steaming radiator in third. In about 40 minutes, 5966 will be in the lead again heading west ripping through the level crossing at Philips Road. 255's power coupled to the train shortly after that, and headed towards Hamilton.

The Helm leasing units that came to fill in a motive power void were a nice change of pace even if they didn’t last all that long. The story I heard was the Woodward equipment on board was too complicated to maintain fit the small GEXR maintenance team. Here train 432 has a former CN SD40 and ex DRG&W SD45 rebuilt into a SD40 up front with a RailAmerica GP35 as they get head room at Kitchener.

CP 8878 east is rolling through KC Junction at the West end of Golden BC. In a hundred or so feet it will enter the Windermere Sub bound for Crowsnest Pass. The tail end of a westbound potash train can also be seen on the north track of the Mountain Sub.

Canadian National's Spadina Yards and surrounding area in downtown Toronto was always a hubbub of activity dating back to the steam era. This 1970 view of the Spadina roundhouse and engine servicing facilities shows a great variety of power that was typical for CN back in the day, as well as some other goodies:<br><br>In the foreground are CN's only two GP35's, 4001 and 4000 (the long hood of which is visible on the lower left) coupled to an MLW RS18. Parked on the next track over is a 1900-series GMD1 (equipped with steam generator and B-B trucks) facing an Ontario Northland 1500-series FP7 and CN FPA4 (likely both together for service on the old "Northland" passenger train that pooled ONR & CN equipment). CN "Railiner" RDC cars are visible on the next track, with one in the background coupled to a pair of GP9's (4130 and 4147, the 4100-series units were equipped with steam lines for use in passenger service). Behind them are four more 1900-series GMD1's, and some MLW S13 switchers used for switching the coachyard (one appears to be coupled to a slug - possibly a visiting hump set from MacMillan Yard?). Steam generator cars populate many of the stub tracks around the roundhouse turntable<br><br>Visible by the main Toronto Terminals Railway tracks leading to and from Union Station in the background are CP container flatcars (6-axle trucked flats converted from old heavyweight passenger cars) loaded with early 20' containers, the TTR's John Street interlocking tower, and CN 40' boxcars lining the platforms and team tracks used by various customers to load and receive deliveries downtown (like newsprint - as evident by the yellow-doored boxcars mixed in. The Toronto Daily Star, Toronto Telegram, and Globe & Mail were known customers).<br><br>The early 70's era Toronto skyline is also visible, including the ever-present CPR Royal York Hotel, the "new" Toronto-Dominion Bank Towers built in the mid-late 60's, the CN Telecommunications building at 151 Front St. (later becoming CNCP Telecommunications, and then Unitel). And, the top of Union Station and the old CN Express building (converted into the Skywalk in the 80's) are visible just above CN's Spadina Roundhouse at the upper right (which was demolished in the mid 1980's for construction of the Skydome).

While GEXR may be gone from here, echoes of the GEXR continue to reverberate. During the CN strike of 2019 the crews out of Kitchener were unaffected because they are under a different Union agreement, still called by their former name the GEXR. Big power was left stranded by the Toronto (Non GEXR) crews in Kitchener due to the strike and the former GEXR crews were happy to use it for a few days while their brothers in the Union ironed things out. At shakespeare, the mill in the background is shrouded in EMD 16-710 exhaust as 8863 works hard to maintain track speed on the hilly Guelph subdivision. SD70M-2 8863 was built only 30 miles away at EMD's London facility in late 2008 and a second identical unit was right behind it on this train making it sound very nice. More to come from this fantastic day.

A change of pace from 1993 in Sarnia's Chemical Valley. One of the few times I carried my camera in the duffle bag. The day I took this image, I knew these were sitting here, so I was prepared. Brought to the Dupont of Canada Sclair Works in Corunna, for a planned TransCAER meeting. These would involve not only the host industry, but nearby industry, plus fire, police and other responders, plus representatives from local railways (in this case, CN and CSX). There are actually 3 cars here - the International Car caboose 913C, the outside-braced 50 foot cushion car 913B, and the DUPX tank car 912. The tank car, unfortunately out of sight on the backside of the curve, is for demonstration and training, as it has been equipped with multiple domes, valves and interior walkways. It is numbered 912 so as not to be confused with several other, similar cars, numbered 911 under a couple of ownerships. The boxcar not only carries further demonstration features, but has the generator to power the caboose (heating, lighting etc). These 3 cars were based somewhere in the USA and this was the 2nd time that I had encountered them in Canada. Taken with my Canon TX from the cab of some obscure CSX GP38 while working the 4pm " hill job".
