The sun begins to rise on a new day silhouetting the unmistakable outline of a cowl SD40-2F. I had been out here during the night doing long exposures, and figured why not come back for sunrise as the forecast called for partly cloudy conditions which usually makes for good colours. Home and work are only 30 minutes from Tilbury, and I had enough time to be in Tilbury for sunrise and still make it to work on time. I'm glad I made that decision as the sunrise was spectacular. 4WHA had been tied down the day before after the crew finished dropping the last strand of rail they had left, and would stay tied down for another full day and night before being lifted by a passing 731.

CP 9017 basks in the evening sunset in the siding at Tilbury as an early spring shower forms to the east. I had my camera on me at work from the morning's sunrise photos still, and as I walked out the door I saw dark skies to the east and massive clearing to the west. My gut feeling was something spectacular was about to occur in Tilbury so I drove back out there and was not disappointed in the slightest.

An extra Sunday crew heads for home from Ojibway Yard on a snowy January day. Remember when we had those? The loaded centrebeam is for Border Reload, while the rest of the train will be interchanged to CN on the way back to their Lincoln Road shops. 105 and 104 both are wearing heritage paint schemes of previous Essex Terminal liveries. 105 is particularly cool in that it was delivered brand new to ETR in 1956 wearing this paint scheme.

CP's business train "40B" departs Agincourt Yard after a short stop for a recrew and some fuel. An observant friend of mine pointed out that the consist only featured units in the "block" scheme as opposed to mixing in "script" units. Perhaps on purpose, or just a neat coincidence? Either way the ACU looked sharp as did the rest of the train.

A GO test train pauses briefly at the historic St Mary's train station as they simulate a station stop. GO is currently looking into adding service between Kitchener and London and were conducting test runs over the weekend. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few months.

CN L568 crosses over Rotary Park and Trout Creek, a small tributary of the Thames River in St. Mary's. This would have been a perfect reflection, but some nearby ducks decided they wanted to go for a swim as the train approached. What can you do haha. Unfortunately, CN 1408 and other GMD1s are now retired and off CN's roster. Their fates are unknown at the moment.

The OSR Woodstock job heads east through the town of Beachville, ON. A bit of a throwback scene to when CP ran GP9s on this line before leasing it to OSR.

This train came into Windsor the previous night as CP 340, but for the hand-off to ETR the CP yard crew used the ID T-42. Whenever CP brings a grain train for ETR they cut the rear DPU(s) off at Dougall, pull up through the crossover between CP and ETR, and once clear of the crossover an ETR crew backs on while the CP crew detaches from the head end. ETR then brings the train to ADM in Ojibway. It's a really cool operation to watch and listen to on the scanner. This usually occurs a handful of times every year.

CN A439 races through the farmland of Komoka on the outskirts of London. With CN rapidly retiring their aging fleet of Dash 8s, these "Blue Devil" units are not long for this world, at least under CN ownership.
