As the extra Honda rounds the bend at Mt Pleasant, one can observe where countless freight trains with their high cube autoracks and double stacked containers have left an indelible impression on the adjacent tree line…

Thanks to good friends, I got a message about H17 going light up the Mactier, and later got an additional update about them lifting at Lambton... So...naturally, me and Isaac decided to follow him up the Mactier starting at mile 6...and after much confusion over the radio, and multiple plan changes over where H17 fit in between trains 112, 113, 114, and 421, we got ahead of him at Humber Station Rd and snapped a great frame of them knocking down the intermediates mile 24 in amazing afternoon light. Two GP38's (one a GP40X) full throttle, 7000 ft of autos, two determined railfans, and one great result...this shot.

Trunked up. Toronto showed up for this one... Double GTW GP40-2's, one blue and the other CN North America, are seen on the head end of train L529, ready to depart for for MacMillan Yard after working Home Depot Lumber and XTL in the north end of Etobicoke.

On May 6th, 2014, I was at the 14th Ave crossing of the CN York Subdivision shooting train Q149 with 5665 on the point. I had just gotten my then-new Canon 5D Mk III two months previous and was having a lot of fun taking it out railfanning that Spring.

Later in the evening at Waterdown Rd, I caught a westbound CN freight getting underway out of Aldershot yard with a great consist...C44-9W 2561, SD60F 5560, and SD75I 5755. I am going to guess that this guy was either a 300-series manifest or an A435.

CN GP9RM's 7039 and 4138 are seen drilling cars in Aldershot yard on a warm Spring afternoon back in 2014. I'm not too sure if this was simply a yard job shunting cars around or if this was in fact a road local bound for Stuart Street in Hamilton...either way a great train to catch in the sun. I have a few more shots from this same time in May that year that I will upload this week.

In between shadows cast by the numerous condos downtown, an inbound Milton GO train rushes into the Union Station Rail Corridor off the Galt Subdivision with a shortened COVID-era consist. I recall Curtis was with me for this one.

Back to 2015 for this one: CP vehicle train no.147 rolls through the control point at Bloor with power from the other railroad up front, including 5562, a GMD-built SD60F 'draper taper'.

May 2012 for this shot. What I believe was a no.223 train for Winnipeg pulls up on Bartlett with two big 90MAC's for power on a warm spring evening.

Throwing it back four years earlier to 2010, we see a westbound CP manifest freight stopped short of the signals at Bartlett Ave in Toronto's west end with a trio of SD40-2's for power. CP 6001 and the 5878 behind her were still sporting the mid-90's dual flags scheme back then, and 5878 even had it's class lights intact. This train was either a 400-class train for Sudbury or a 200-class train for Chicago...I have no notes on this guy unfortunately. I believe Mr.JA was with me this day.

An eastbound CWR work train loaded with ribbon rail cruises eastbound through the neighbourhood. Not sure if this was a work train for the Galt, Mactier, or Belleville Subs. Big points for the cylindrical hoppers for buffers. This consist had a work van on the tail end to boot.

In May of 2014, CP train no.147 showed up around the bend at the Rosedale pedestrian bridge with three SD40-2's hauling a train of autoracks for the Indiana Harbor Belt in Gibson, IN, outside of Chicago. This was back when CP Rail was still fun. James Adeney might have his videos and photos of this train somewhere!

What I believe to be either M314 or M305 heads westbound uphill past Hilda Ave in Thornhill on a sunny afternoon back in the Spring of 2014. Leading the freight is a former EMDX SD70ACe painted up in the blue and navy demonstrator scheme...now under the ownership of CN. I recall CN picked these up after leasing them either in early 2014 or late 2013...not sure on the exact date.

Never thought I'd be able to bag a second generation EMD at Port Credit in the big 26 but, here we are. Metrolinx/Cando test train no.001-05 rolls through Port Credit GO station on a hot but mild July morning.

Under dramatic cloudcover, CN 5640 and 2677 make their way uphill at Hilda Ave in Thornhill, headed westbound towards a crew change at Snider West.

The lavender is blooming in the township of Caledon, and with the arrival of Spring comes the prevalence of work trains on the CP Rail system... Here at Palgrave we see welded rail train 4WMA approaching Hunsden Sideroad on the main after laying ribbon rail along the Mactier Sub in a couple of spots.

During the latter part of January 2026, Toronto received a record dumping of snow not seen since the 1940's...I went out into whiteout conditions to try and find some trains. I started locally on the North Toronto Sub and as luck would have it, what I believe to have been CP no.113 appeared out of the snow trudging through the storm westbound with CP 8735 up front. After the North Toronto I headed east to <a href="https://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=58346"> Danforth </a> in order to shoot GO and VIA in the snow.

What I believe to be CP no.2-133 pulls ahead while working Agincourt Yard in the east end of Toronto, with GEVO 8786 and AC44 9719 up front for power.
