![The 6:50 train departs into the sunrise towards Toronto. When I worked in downtown Barrie, a slight detour on my way in would let me catch this departure and some nice sunrises over the bay.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_5240rp-200x150.jpg)

![The rain has stopped but it is still a grey miserable day as the Super Continental gets serviced during its stop in downtown Edmonton. The garbage has been removed and the porters shoot the breeze in the background. Our family was traveling to BC from Toronto. Our E series sleeping car is on the left, but the name is not legible. My Mother took this shot and I'm always amazed with the the composition and the pop of color in the center.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/85481145-SLD-001-0043eRP-200x150.jpg)

![A trio of ECO units proceeds west slowly through Peterborough crossing Aylmer Street. When I was a Kid growing up here this train ran at night. Back then the power was usually a mix of four axle power, GP-35's C424's or RS-18's. One time a C&O GP-30 showed up. Back then my brother was the camera guy and film was expensive. As teenagers there were other pursuits, so there aren't any photos from those days.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_0234rp-200x150.jpg)

![One for Fathers Day. Here I am in 1979 as a skinny 16 year old beside my Dad at the Calgary station in front of a boiler equipped GP-9 parked as protection power.
My Dad grew up in two houses beside the tracks in Peterborough and later an apartment nearby the line to Lindsay, so he was always a railfan. He left the photography work to my mother and brother as cameras seemed to spite him.
This was the last big trip we did before my brother and I headed out on our own into the world. All these years later I still think it was one of our best.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/85481145-SLD-001-0007rev-200x150.jpg)

![Engine 1531 has been getting some cosmetic restoration work done. Previously it was displayed on the Barrie waterfront adjacent to the Newmarket sub. It was moved here to permit road and watermain work to be done along the lakeshore. The smokestack was removed during the move. The relocation was intended to be temporary but ownership was eventually transferred to the museum. The city paid for asbestos removal which required removal of the boiler jacketing and the engine had been looking rough for a while. Apparently all of the parts which were removed are safely stored.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/IMG_0139copy-200x150.jpg)

![London and Southwestern Railway 4-4-0 number 563 and a coach rest on the turntable at the John Street roundhouse. The equipment was brought over from England for the theatre production of "The Railway Children". During shows the train was moved into the stage area by a trackmobile. The production was not very successful and the equipment was returned to England. The locomotive was restored to operation in 2023. The engine probably felt at home on this grey misty day.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMG_1051r2-200x150.jpg)

![The former CNR Coboconk station has been lifted off its previous foundation and will be incorporated in to a wellness center after sitting empty for a few years. When the station was relocated from its original location it was built in to the side of a hill and given a walk out front that did not improve it's looks. A rendering of the new development shows a deck area in front of the building that should improve the final appearance.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/PA110017r3-200x150.jpg)

![8055 with 8147 mid train is approaching the Highway 26 crossing just north of the former Midhurst station site. The site of the station is now just a patch of grass, but across the tracks a busy maintenance base remains. A portion of the former passing siding is used as an OCS spur. A huge pile of used ties covers most of the former back track.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/IMG_4684r2-200x150.jpg)
