It's been a while, and I figured my first post again in a couple years here should show something interesting. Back in 2018, here's a 385 with quite a lashup in 2020's standards. They stalled out battling the Escarpment, and needed assistance, giving me the opportunity to catch up to them. Hard to believe its been 2 years already since the brief colourful leaser days on CN. Even crazier to think that these second hand C40-8s are hitting the razor line soon too, along with the widecab versions, and the cowl bodies. Best start shooting shortlines and locals more, as they're about the only cool things left

In blinding morning light, a late 398 rolls through Mount Pleasant, soon approaching its destination of Mac Yard.

GEXR 431 flies over the Grand River in Breslau, Ontario, a few kilometres east of Kitchener. My brother Liam had a go at this shot and posted his a few days earlier. It was a small hike on a hot day, but the light and overall scene made it worth it. Little less orange on 431 made for a bit of a different scene too!

After hearing 271 was close, I had my doubts we would get sun for this westbound. But just before they rolled around the bend at Paris Junction, the sun broke out from the dark wet clouds and created a real nice scene, which made for a good Saturday evening.

Back to back empty windmill trains start off with L394 (followed by X307). One of CNs four SD70ACe's, 8103, leads the train on the south track at MP 7.2.

New years eve. Before all the partying begins, one last trip out to shoot some trains was necessary. After shooting a few CPs, I headed over to Paris to bag a few westbounds (385 371). 371 appeared first, with a pretty cool lashup in today's standards.

During a break of on and off snowstorms, 371 flies through Woodstock on the south track after meeting 148 seconds before. I'm very fortunate that the sun just barely broke through the thick cloudcover, and made the shot a ton better.

First day using my EOS 7D turned out to be a good one. Capping the day off with a pan shot of 399 at Mt. Pleasant. This shot, although may not look similar, was inspired by Stephen Host's shot of a westbound at Puslinch featured here: http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=23106 . I learned to make the most out of low light situations, and to try new things out.

After backing onto the wye at the Cowpath, W904 races back east for Mac Yard, after dropping some welded rail in Hamilton. This was a pleasant treat, because I've never shot a rail train (or work train), and it was a gorgeous Sunday morning with some trees even starting to turn orange :)

9760 east rolls into Woodstock, where it will lift the three autos in the far left of the shot.

Imagine if these weren't in CN paint... This definitely would of been quite the colorful lashup. Today's 435 happens to be one of the best lashups I've seen on CN in a while. Therefore, not everything is GEVO powered, stay out for a bit, and you'll get lucky.

After leading 244 hours before and dropping the train in Wolverton, 8637 ran light to Galt to wye the power and head to London, where it would be lifted by 242 later in the afternoon.

A very early 394 rolls through Paris with not one, not two, but three SD75i's, which is kinda nice to see. For those "stressing" about GEVOS taking over CN, go out a little longer, and you can find good lashups still. I've seen a good lashup everyday that I've been out, whether it's a C40-8, BCOL or IC. Almost every day there's something. Be patient and don't complain :)

The sunrises above the town of Paris on the first morning of August 2016. Traffic was slow, but the sunrise was the highlight of the day.

After being dumped in Aldershot via 422, this solo SD70i hustles its way toward Mac Yard with a decent train length in tow. 5613 was the only SD70i I knew about in Southern Ontario recently, serving 438/439 for months.

435 flies through mile 36 of the Dundas Sub, as it heads westward for London with a very short train in tow. 2456 appears once again, and for my 5th time shooting this guy in the last 3 months, it was a nice possible last shot for a while.

After hearing "IC 2456 west, clear to enter my limits at MP 43 Grimsby Sub", I knew I was in for a treat. 524 showed up with 86 axels of auto parts for Aldershot, then wyed his power at the Cowpath, then doubled up at Aldershot, and as pictured above, headed east for Port Robinson. Two swans began to come really close, and I became a little nervous thinking they'd ruin my picture but chasing me away, but in the end, maybe they're foamer swans and just wanted a view of the Conrail heritage :)

After lifting roughly 10 cars from Paris, 435 takes the north and departs westward for London. Props to the awesome crew, especially the hogger who went crazy on the horn for us standing on Canning Road bridge. Nice to see crews who still care about rail fans.

Minutes after X382 flew by on the south, 399 takes the north as it flies through Paris West on the Dundas Subdivision.

I guess this could be considered a great lash up amongst today's GEVO party on CN. SD75i 5784, leads EX LMS, IC 2455, eastbound on train 422 headed for Mac Yard.
