The parking lot is full, as most of the passengers wait inside for the extremely late Northlander at the Huntsville station. The station was nicely restored, and the town had plans to use it as an intermodal facility (bus, train, etc.).

Having grown up in Summerhill, and lived there in more recent years frequently as well, there were times I pondered on the idea of what if? What if a train on the CP North Toronto Sub just a couple hundred feet from my house derailed? Although a kilometer west of my location, the question was answered, thankfully not catastrophically. CP 235's power was running light to West Toronto Yard around 5am and the crew missed the stop signal at Howland, and ended up taking out the last cars of CP 118. 235 hit the ground, but the ballast and adjacent track rails managed to stop the units several feet short of the Howland Avenue bridge. Had 235 been a full manifest, this likely would have been a vastly different scenario. Luckily, things turned out rather minor compared to what could have happened.

Upon talking with a CP mechanic summoned from Agincourt, I told him it's amazing how minor the damage is. He promptly shook his head, and said "it's huge damage." Obviously, a railfan's point of view versus a locomotive mechanic is going to be very different. Nonetheless, he and his colleagues spent the next few hours weld repairing 8849's front trucks, which snapped from the force of the derailment.

In this photo, 8849 has had its weld repair completed, and the front axles are slowly being rerailed. 9617 was rerailed rather quickly hours earlier, having sustained no safety-problematic damage to the trucks and wheels. Both units were ready to roll by 10:30pm. Around 12am, a Geep set from West Toronto Yard picked them up and very slowly tugged them back to Agincourt Yard. Traffic was running again before sundown, and the track repairs continued into the next day. The east switch of the Howland interlocking and a section of storage track P66 needed to be rebuilt.

We knew when these leasers arrived on CN, there'd be a chance some of these rent a wrecks might end up in the lead - usually the wrecks are trailing only but a few slip the cracks in the lead. When they do, you've gotta stand up, for it could be quite rare. GECX 9130, ex UP 9369 leading M394 with 12,000 foot of train and 724 axles, climbing the grade at 18 MPH. With a train this heavy and power so 'tenuous' DI RTC made darn sure 394 had clear signals all the way up the Halton sub and no opposition - holding 385 at Stewarttown. With thanks to <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/author/loose-cannon> Clint-o aka Loose Cannon </a> for the heads up at Paris, I was able to time it for my lunch break. The time is 12:45 PM. Here's to many more.

Ho hum! A trio of C-424s on a doublestack train. I probably wasn't that blase about it but amazingly enough CPR could be counted on to produce trains like this on a regular basis in 1995.

CN 5642 has 23 cars in tow as he crawls down the CASO at tenth line, a few minutes before diverging off the CASO and onto the former CSX Sarnia Sub. This line was up for abandonment at this time and would ultimately be abandoned in May 2011.

CN 106, 4796 & 105 with an 18 car Agawa Canyon Tour train consist at Agawa Canyon Park on the last run of 2015. The Coalition for Algoma Passenger trains is trying to find a new operator, in the meantime with regular passenger service halted and CN failing to make any announcement about running the tour train in 2016, the future of any form of passenger service on this line appears very much in doubt. The root cause of this deplorable situation: the Federal Conservatives' decision that the train did not qualify for the remote rail program - in spite of a complete lack of roads much less any other form of public transportation in many of the locales served by the train. Passenger Rail - in spite of receiving less than 1% of the government spending given to other modes http://www.comt.ca/english/statistics.pdf - is constantly under attack by so-called fiscal conservatives who claim we’re spending too much on trains. Why? Because of slight-of-hand misinformation by highway/aviation special interests to keep you focused on the flea instead of the elephant. As we head to the polls, those who support passenger trains should remember the federal governments' decision to cut ACR's, as well as VIA's, meager funding leaving people stranded in towns with no other form of public transportation, all while spending billions on roads, marine terminals, airports, sidewalks ect, which aren't expected to pay their own way much less operate at a profit. Here's to making our vote count October 19. Check out my website at http://northamericabyrail.info , Cheers, Pete
