Noe's 1053 photos on Railpictures.ca:

CN 392 with SD40-2(W) 5326, Conrail SD50 6753 and EMD Leasing GP38-2 763 are pictured heading east through Woodstock, Ontario on the Dundas Subdivision. Conrail 6753 was either running through or operating on CN to repay back horsepower hours owed. The train was passing under the large Purina Canada mill, which eventually under the Cargill empire had ceased operations during 2024.

CN train 580 with GP9RM 4115 is viewed lifting a loaded bulkhead car from the Babcock & Wilcox facility on the Fergus Subdivision. The crew had just set-off an empty flat at the plant and will shortly depart to continue switching other industries on the Galt Industrial Spur in Cambridge. To the left of the unit is the Fergus Subdivision main which ended near the CN Finnigan sign at Hespeler Road, and the CP Waterloo Subdivision.

On May 5, 1995, CN had officially opened the new St. Clair River tunnel connecting Sarnia and Port Huron, Michigan. During the weekend of May 6-7 CN held many festivities in Sarnia and Port Huron to commemorate the event. CN had operated employee specials for workers across Southern Ontario as well as the US so they could attend the events along with their families. Both the American and Canadian passenger trains travelled down the Port Edward Spur in Sarnia to Centennial Park where the bulk of the festivities took place including live entertainment and displays. Here, the 20-car Blue Water Special with GT 6401, Amtrak 369 and Amtrak 297 are seen arriving near the Sarnia waterfront. This train hauled GT employees from Battle Creek, Lansing and Flint to the "Employee Day" events.

A CP westbound train is viewed waiting to depart Lambton Yard near West Toronto, Ontario on the Galt Subdivision with a trio of SD40-2’s that included; 5736, 672 and SOO Line 788. At the same time, a short eastbound train continues to Toronto Yard with leased VIA Rail F40PH-2’s 6453 and 6454 for power. At the time, CP Rail was leasing nine F40PH-2’s from the passenger carrier to assist with their motive power shortage. They were mainly used on local jobs as well as mainline 900 series trains that operated within the province.

Looking every bit it’s age and with its days of leading trains long behind it, veteran M-630 4570 is viewed taking on fuel at CP’s Toronto Yard.
<br>
Built during 1969 by MLW, the aging locomotive had been retired in November 1993, then un-retired during June 1994 as CP found itself increasingly power short. It managed to stay in service until August 1995 before it was ultimately retired for good and eventually scrapped.

During a spring afternoon, LMSX C40-8W 718 and CN GP9 Slug 258 are pictured outside the MacMillan Yard diesel shop in Vaughan, Ontario just north of Toronto. In the mid-90’s LMS units 700 to 739 would spend months on CR and the rest of the time over the fall and winters on a seasonal lease to CN.

CP train 515 with SOO Line SD40-2 6617, SD40-2 5776 and M-630 4572 has uncoupled from their cars and are photographed heading into the Galt yard across from the station to lift loaded racks filled with new Toyota vehicles.
<br>
Built in 1969 by MLW, the aging locomotive had been retired in December 1993, then un-retired during May 1994 as CP found itself increasingly power short. Unknown to me at the time of the photo, was that 4572 only had less than three weeks left in service before it was ultimately retired for good on April 18, 1995, at St. Luc yard in Montreal, Quebec.

During a pleasant spring day, CP SW1200RS 8161 and GP7u 1501 briefly pause across from the Galt, Ontario station. Shortly the veteran crew of the morning Galt Job, would continue their switching duties around the yard. During the mid-90’s with traffic increasing from the nearby Toyota facility, CP began assigning GP7u’s to Galt to be paired with an SW1200RS. Prior to this, Galt was typically only exclusively assigned pairs of pups to work the former electric lines trackage.

CN train 580 is pictured heading for industries situated on the Galt Industrial Spur in Cambridge, Ontario as it trundles over the Speed River bridge in the Village of Hespeler. Behind GP9RM 4115 is an empty dimensional flat that the crew will take to Babcock & Wilcox on the Fergus Subdivision later that afternoon. The auto parts boxcars to the right of the unit are sitting on the 1.2 mile Solaware Spur.
<br>
This is a remnant of former Grand River Railway trackage that once operated through Hespeler, which was not far from where a station was located on the Hespeler Subdivision, subsequently becoming part of CP and downgraded to a spur. In later years, CN took over this trackage and renamed this section the Solaware Spur, and used it mainly to store auto parts boxcars for the various parts plants on the Galt Industrial Spur, including McPherson near Franklin Blvd.

Ontario Southland Railway (OSR) SW1200RSm’s 1245 and 1249 are viewed having just departed Woodstock, Ontario and are passing the 1-mile approach signal to the Carew Diamond with CN’s Dundas Subdivision. The train is returning to Ingersoll on the St. Thomas Subdivision where it will switch in the small yard and eventually lift a pair of former CP Rail ballast hoppers in the town.

The remains of CN HR616 2105 are seen a day after being in the lead of train 272 when it was involved in a major rear-end collision on the Strathroy Subdivision. The unit was on the point of the eastbound train, when it rear-ended standing manifest 308 at Hyde Park. In turn, the force of the impact pushed train 308 into the rear of train 223, another standing freight which was stopped ahead of it. The collision was enough to derail both 2105 and second unit, LMSX C40-8W 723. The locomotives suffered heavy damage, with 2105 bearing the worst of it. Fortunately, the crews involved escaped with non-life threatening injuries. The LMSX lessor would be repaired, however 2105 was subsequently retired on October 26, 1995 after it was determined the damage was too extensive and it would be too costly to repair the aging locomotive.
<br>
Here in this photo, looking west from the Hyde Park Road overpass in London, the derailment cleanup was proceeding. Both the HR616 and LMSX Dash 8-40W 723 are viewed as well as several of the derailed freight cars. The two people in the field taking photos of 2105 are myself and a friend. I didn’t realize that my dad had gotten us in a few of his photos until I scanned the negatives.
<br>
In the end, the Transportation Safety Board eventually had determined that the engineer of train 272 had missed a restrictive signal indication west of Hyde Park due to fatigue and was ultimately unable to completely stop as his train approached and struck the stopped 308.

Spring has sprung as CN L568 rolls westbound, approaching Road 106, just east of Shakespeare, Ontario as it heads to Stratford and customers further west. Powering the short train are GTW 6420, BNSF 2926 and BNSF 2090, which is a consist that drew many railfans to the Guelph Subdivision, including several from the U.S.

Veteran CP M-630 4572 is viewed trailing on train 515 in Killean siding in Galt, Ontario waiting for a meet with two eastbound’s. Built in 1969 by MLW, the aging locomotive had been retired in December 1993, then un-retired during May 1994 as CP found itself increasingly power short.

CP train 515 waits in Killean siding in Galt, Ontario as the last cars of the second of two eastbound’s rolls by the windows of SOO Line SD40-2 6617. The eastbound was powered by SD40-2 5580, HLCX GP38AC 3676 and GP9u 8248. Following the meet, train 515 with SOO Line SD40-2 6617, SD40-2 5776 and M-630 4572, would slowly roll out of the siding to Galt, where it would also stop to lift loaded auto racks in the bustling yard.

On an Easter weekend more than thirty years ago now, a colorful consist waits to depart CP’s Toronto Yard diesel shop tracks. The unit’s included; VIA Rail F40PH-2 6457, HLCX GP40-3 4407, C-424 4227 and M-636 4721. At the time, CP Rail was leasing nine F40PH-2’s from VIA Rail to assist with their motive power shortage. They were mainly used on local jobs as well as mainline 900 series trains that stayed within the province. HLCX 4407 was ex-HLCX 654, ex-Amtrak 654, ex-Kyle Railroad 3116, ex-Conrail 3083 and nee-PC/NYC 3083.

Bearing the evidence of a violent collision the day prior, CN HR616 2105 is pictured situated beside Mile 4 of the Strathroy Subdivision at CN Hyde Park in London, Ontario. So the story goes, during the early morning hours of February 16, 1995, the unit was on the point of eastbound train 272, when it rear-ended the tail-end of standing train 308 at Hyde Park. In turn, the force of the impact pushed train 308 into the rear of train 223, which was another standing freight that was stopped ahead of it. The force of the collision was enough to derail both 2105 and second unit, LMSX C40-8 723. Fortunately, all the crews involved escaped with non-life-threatening injuries, however the crew of 272 did receive injures due to the accident. Both the locomotives on 272 suffered heavy damage, with 2105 bearing the worst of it.
<br>
We had visited the wreck scene the following day after the Strathroy Subdivision had been re-opened for traffic. The remains of the damaged freight cars and 2105 were situated beside the line and against an adjoining field. We took some photos from the Hyde Park Road overpass, then a friend and I as well as another London area railfan walked into the field to photograph 2105. Its heavily damaged frame was situated pushed up against a fence line while in the background, big cranes were preparing to attach to 2105 and would work through the evening to re-rail the big HR616.
<br>
In the time following the derailment, the LMSX lessor would go on to be repaired, however 2105 was subsequently retired on October 26, 1995 after it was determined the damage was too extensive and it would be too costly to repair the aging unit. The Transportation Safety Board later established that due to crew fatigue, the locomotive engineer of train 272 went by a restrictive signal west of Hyde Park and was unable to stop his train as it approached stopped 308’s tail-end. Also, the fields where we were to take the photos of 2105 are now long gone and are filled with housing developments.
