This angle opened up in March or so with the demolition of those really annoying pipes that obstructed views closer to Burlington Street. Change continues here, as the acid reclamation building in the background is now being demolished, bringing down an <a href="http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=44992" target="_blank">interesting photo prop</a> that I was told was supposed to be demolished in 2021. Best I was able to do here was midday sun with smokey skies, but hey, better than nothing!

A rare late day appearance for CN at Stelco, with the 1500 dropping 13 empties with no lift.

All of this recent 581 talk has had me feeling nostalgic for 551. If memory serves, this was the last 551 to run the Grimsby before 581 took things over, which pushed their arrival back in Hamilton by several hours and really killed most photo ops for what served as a Spring/Summer/Fall highlight for me for a few years. This was one of my favourite locations for shooting 551 and I wanted to shoot it one final time. What's a Hamilton scene without some clapped out vehicles next to the tracks and an obsolete smoke stack? I revisited this location on Wednesday evening only to find the stack has come down at some point in the past year. Not quite the same here without it. <br><br> Looks like the crew has finished work at Empire Steel, Bartram Lumber and Triple M Parkdale, and are headed back towards the yard and ultimately onto Aldershot.

Well, it's gone now. Loaded onto to truck and off to be scrapped. This was the last time I saw the Bunge critter working. It had just returned to operation after being sidelined for many months, and from what I have been told only ran for a couple months after this before being sidelined forever. One less cool locomotive to shoot in Hamilton.

After watching shadows grow longer for what felt like an eternity, the 1559 Yard Job appeared not a moment to soon from their lunch break to lift Viterra.

The CN 0700 Yard Job is shoving towards Parkland Fuels as they pass by an impressive dimensional load from Hooper Welding. This is the second such load I have seen in the last two months, with the other <a href="http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=50944">here</a>. Even the crew members seemed impressed by this one.

Since the NS coils currently being built are one of the key points of interest in southern Ontario railfanning of late, figured I'd get in on the fun. Here we see the NSC critter out and about, making a move among their storage cars over on the Coke Oven Leads out front of Dofasco. Currently among those cars are both painted and unpainted NS/NKLX coils (as Trenergy in St. Catharines isn't building hoods as quickly as NSC is building cars), with unpainted pictured here. They ended up pulling a tagged NSCX demo car out of the storage pile - for what reason, I have no idea.

The CN 0700 Yard Job with a dimensional load from Hooper in the Eastport area. These moves happen only a couple of times a year as far as I know, and are typically handled under darkness by the 1600 Yard Job. Aside from empties going in on the 1600, this is the first pull from Hooper I've ever seen. At the time of the photo, the load was stuck against the fence of the adjacent scrap yard.

Well, since we were talking about P&H in the comments <a href="http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=50413" target="_blank">here</a>, figured I'd upload the last shot of CN I have there. Things were pretty busy at P&H in the summer, with lots of traffic coming off of CP. Pictured, the 1500 was paused to get the gates after spotting more loaded cars.

CP H41, with the CP 3129 leading, is inbound towards NSC while one of the plant crews looks to take the crossover. H41 would reverse to clear the way for NSC. News broke today of new power for NSC on 396.

Not all that difficult to get morning light on CP here - in fact it's something I make sure to do at least a few times every year. CN on the other hand, has proved impossible until now. I was heading home from a brief chase of CP 133 and came across a light power 0700 heading towards some trackage an 0700 would usually never touch. Playing a hunch, I rolled the dice and headed straight for Windemere Basin and within moments was greeted by this scene, as were the four or five birders already on location. Turns out the previous night's 1600 wasn't able to finish their work so these guys were wrapping up the job.

On a bit of a wacky weather night - complete with extremely localized downpours, rainbows, and full sun - the CN 1600 Yard Job was a bit later than usual out of the yard. They're pictured here shoving towards customers in Hamilton's Far East. The head end coils are some relatively new business as far as I am aware - being unloaded in Eastport.
