"New kids" were a novelty. They have now taken the Galt by storm, leading probably 50% of the very few trains that are left. Bring on the 5500s....

Looking a little grizzled, 135 is making good time up Orrs Lake hill, showing age hasn't deterred the will to pull. 1/20th.

The sky is a lot different this morning, although the air is no more breathable. Most of the ash has descended to ground level, so the sky seems clearer. 7490 is the mid as 230 rumbles east of Galt with a happy crew.

Fires in Northern Ontario have changed the South immeasurably. I can only imagine what they're dealing with. Fire danger in Muskoka is Extreme.

Soon, this will be the norm. Best get all that faded, coal-covered red while you can.....OK, it's at least a decade but it's happening.

NS power is pretty rare in Ontario, especially leading. Alas, SBU issues kind of ruined my planned pan as 230 meandered through Puslinch at about 10mph. You take what you can get.

Running about 6 hours late (a CN breakdown caused a nightmarish crew change in Gogama) VIA 2 heads for a stop in Parry Sound....where it will get hooped for another 45 minutes for a northbound stacker. While the treatment it gets is deplorable, there is nothing better looking on the rails anywhere.

I'm an Olympic junkie. So it takes a lot to drag me away from the TV. The Galt Sub is a roller coaster, which must make train handling a nightmare at times. I'm trying to show its "magic" here.

Luck is an interesting thing. It may follow Newton's Laws and have a balance of its own. There was a healthy amount of "giddiness" that 7010 would be leading 137. The weather didn't look great, but Heritage leader. The weather started to look better as the news broke that a KCS had been stuck ahead of ht eHeritage and a couple of GP38s. Ah, well, bad luck. But as 137 approached Galt, the clouds parted. Good luck, and fresh snow on the ground and a train not dawdling, really good luck.

OK, here's the thing. It's cold for Ontario.....-15. I know that's T-shirt weather for many of you. An awful lot of past Ontario winters have been -2. which means packing snow...that doesn't fly. Flying snow means speed, and there is, IMHO, nothing better than a train at speed. That said, I don't envy the crew switching at Wolverton 15 miles ahead, where the blowing snow will fill the switches as fast as they can clean them. Fr example, 239 will be 35 minutes behind this one, 25 minutes of that cleaning out the power switch at Campbellville. There is nothing easy about winter on the railroad.

It's -15. That's not particularly cold...if you're used to it. The wind makes it feel like -25. Not horrendous if you dress for it. I didn't, but stupid should hurt. But with the sun making a very rare appearance, this was not to be missed. These are the kind of winter shots I dream of....visible speed, showcasing the railroad in its best and most determined light..... conquering my second favourite season (fall is always #1)
