About Dave Brook
I started chasing trains after listening to my grandfathers stories of riding steam through the Rockies, and seeing the ore train in Bracebridge. From that I worked for CN/VIA/GO Transit for 6 years before becoming an air traffic controller. I discovered I liked trains more from the outside than in.

Dave Brook's 798 photos on Railpictures.ca:
![238 is usually 2 units. So on this day, it was either particularly heavy, or one unit had dynamic brake issues, and CP grabbed whatever was available. In this case, to a foamers delight, it happened to be a BNSF GE; probably off a 734 that did the honours. Kicking up a little bit of what has been very rare snow his fall, 238 heads for Buffalo passing what's left of the Killean Siding.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/IMG_8413-Edit1280-200x150.jpg)

![If you wait long enough, it will eventually happen. 8906 has the honours as leader on 528 today, but the timing puts the tail end in wonderful late afternoon faux-winter(it's +12 degrees today....bleech) sunlight is something you're just lucky to get.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/IMG_9238-Edit1280-200x150.jpg)

![Twice a day, 3 GP38s and associated variants make the run from Wolverton (Ayr) to service Toyota on the northwest side of Cambridge. They come with empties and leave with loads. Here, they're about to chase the just past 137 up Orrs Lake Hill likely with loads 137 will then lift for Chicago.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/IMG_4858-Edit-copy1280-200x150.jpg)

![The "treasure " is the railing unit; BCOL 4641. I believe they were among the last units built with the original 4-pane widecab that adorned so many CN units from the 1970s and 80s; the best looking of them all IMHO. 314 trickles through the siding for a meet with 107.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/IMG_3238-Edit1280-200x150.jpg)

![It's hard to sneak through town when you're a 200 car potash train with 2 DPU's. There's a pleasant irony that this Ontario regular bears the same number as the legendary ore trains from Temagami to Hamilton...the trains that brought me into the hobby.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/IMG_3210-Edit1280-200x150.jpg)

![137 is usually a good candidate for foreign power.....but having it lead is still a novelty. Murphy would have it that this would occur on one of the greyer days of recent weeks, but beggars can't be choosers. So, with a little injection of colour, 137 crosses the Grand River panned at 1/10th.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/IMG_8958-Edit-200x150.jpg)

![When they still ruled the railroad, 2 SD40-2's in full dynamics assisting a grain train down the Big Hill. Cathedral has now been removed as it was deemed too short for the trains CP runs now, and there was no functional way to lengthen it.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/cp5761-copy-200x150.jpg)
