Noe's 1119 photos on Railpictures.ca:

On a weekend summer day, a CP eastbound train is viewed lifting three boxcars from the CN interchange that connected to the CP St. Thomas Subdivision in Woodstock, Ontario. Previously, the power that included SD40-2 5664 and HLCX SD40 3087 had arrived from London, uncoupled from their train and went light down the St. Thomas Subdivision to the interchange. One would assume the three boxcars were fairly “hot” priority cars that couldn’t wait until Monday for one of the Woodstock jobs to lift. The tracks in the foreground are the CN Dundas Subdivision and today this location is known as Carew, however the interchange track between the two railways is long gone.

In August 1970, SDP45 3664 was delivered new to the Erie Lackawanna Railroad and eventually became Conrail 6695 following the formation of big blue. Post retirement it became VMV Enterprises (VMVX) 6695, then later Morrison Knudsen Corporation (MKCX) 9515 remaining in its Conrail blue colours. During the 90’s several members of the EL SDP45 fleet were rebuilt into new SD40M-2’s by Morrison Knudsen for Southern Pacific. 9515 seemed to have eluded this rebuilding program and instead became part of the great CP lease fleet of the mid-90’s. Where it went after its lease to CP someone on here might know as the trail seems to have gone cold. However, decades later, Athearn Genesis did do an HO model of it in this same version.

Here on a September morning, MKCX 9515 along with CP Control Cab 1100 and SD40-2 6043 wait between assignments at CP’s Toronto Yard diesel shop.

CN SD60F 5530 and SD40 5152 await departure from MacMillan Yard in Vaughn, Ontario likely on a future northbound train on the Bala Subdivision back to Western Canada. In the background is fellow draper taper designed HR616 2109. The view is from the tower located at the MacMillan Yard diesel shop, with thanks to the friendly men who were working in the tower that day.

A northbound CP train with SD40-2 5939 and SD40-2 3254 are pictured about to enter the Hunter Street tunnel in downtown Hamilton, Ontario on the Hamilton Subdivision. CP 3254, is ex-NS 3254, nee-Southern Railroad 3254. It would later be renumbered to CP 5485 and was eventually sold to National Railway Equipment.

During the mid-90’s, Cobourg, Ontario’s long closed Canadian Pacific Express & Transport regional freight warehouse building still stood as part of the railway scene situated along the Belleville Subdivision almost frozen in time. It was located across from the interchange tracks with CN’s parallel Kingston Subdivision where the lone boxcar is pictured. Eventually it was slated for demolition by CP, however in 1996, it was purchased by a company named Legacy. Over time, they fully repaired and revived the neglected building and adjoining property into a thriving building materials and antique collectables business. Today it serves as Legacy Vintage’s warehouse, while the small yard beside the original CP express building has since been removed.

During a sweltering July day, CP SW1200RSm 1270 (ex-CP 8150) works the National Steel Car facility deep in the industrial core of Hamilton, Ontario. CP 1270 was retired in October 2003 and was sold to Rail Trusts Equipment (RTEX). The unit was later resold to the St. Marys Railroad in Georgia and was repainted and renumbered to 506.

After a meet with SOO 6621 west (train 503) at Wolverton, Andy and I waited at the crossing for the conductor of 5527 east to turn the switch after they received their clearance to depart the siding following the meet. Within a couple minutes, M-636’s 4742 and 4743 put on a smoky show, exiting the siding, trailing SD40 5527 and HLCX SD40 5008. Their thick black exhaust lingered in the humid air, as the eastbound increased speed and clattered out on the main. A mainline both M-636’s called home for decades. Fittingly just like that it came to be that was the last time I ever saw a CP big alco in active service as the pair were shut down and retired later that summer.

Amid an early summer heat wave, the Southern Ontario air sat heavy and muggy. In retrospect it was the beginning of a long dry season that would see many weeks with the same weather pattern. However, when you’re young these things tend to bother you less. Such was the case here as Andy Gertz and I headed towards London following the Galt Subdivision, in his compact orange Toyota. Once near the village of Ayr, his scanner crackled to life with the RTC calling 5527 east. The approaching eastbound was given a clearance to take the siding at nearby Wolverton for a meet with westbound intermodal 503. Being very close already, we diverted our route towards the east switch Wolverton to await both trains. At the time, Trussler Road was a much less busy thoroughfare and Wolverton was only a long siding in the middle of two farm fields, as the current Wolverton Yard was more than a decade away from being constructed. Soon 5527’s headlight came into view at the top of the siding’s crest, and the train slowly made its way towards us. In true mid-90’s fashion we had no idea what the power was, however with CP’s ever growing lease fleet odds were good it was going to be colourful. As 5527 neared we heard the unmistakable bark of not one but two M-636’s trailing, CP 4742 and 4743, behind the lead SD40 and HLCX 5008.

In the final summer of their existence on CP, anytime you would see a big MLW could be your last, as by June 1995 only about 8 remained in service. And with CP’s new order of GE AC4400CW’s due to arrive in late summer the clock was ticking. So, on that muggy afternoon, Andy and I took many frames on Kodachrome of the two M-636’s as they waited the arrival of 503. Despite their impending retirements, both units still looked sharp in their matching action red paint, unlike many of the already fallen and retired M-636’s in the same class. With 503’s horn approaching from the east, we walked back to the crossing hoping 4742 and 4743 would put on a good show departing the siding following the meet….

Following a meet with road railer train 528, CP 511 is seen approaching the First Line Nassagaweya crossing at the west-end of Guelph Junction on the Galt Subdivision. Train 511’s consist included SD40 5558, M-636 4742, SD40 5410 and C-424 4221. Big MLW 4742 was officially retired again on August 15. Also, it was among the last 4 M-636’s that remained operational through August 1995 prior to being shut down for good.

During spring 1994, CP had re-activated 33 big MLW’s from retirement, which included a mix of C-630M’s, M-630’s and M-636’s. By winter 1995, only 27 remained active, some of which had their cab windows boarded over as they were mainly trailing units only. By 1995 as the months ticked by, their numbers would shrink less and less as they were retired following major failures. Also, by spring 1995 CP had a group of rebuilt SD40-2’s delivered from Morrison–Knudsen. Plus, the railway had their first order of GE units ever, in the form of 83 new AC4400CW’s due for a late summer arrival. Additionally, the railway would go on to purchase several yellow GATX SD40-2’s that they were leasing. All these acquisitions would ultimately see all the Big M’s retired by the end of August 1995.

Here, CP M-636 4743 is viewed at CP’s Toronto Yard in Scarborough, Ontario along with leased Conrail SD40 6340. The Conrail unit would eventually be acquired by Helm Leasing and became HLCX 6064. The big MLW was eventually retired a few months later on August 28 and was sold to the Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad in 1997.

During a weekend afternoon, CP GP38-2 3096 and Control Cab 1102 wait between assignments at CP’s Lambton Yard in Toronto, Ontario. 1102 was built as C-424 4213 during 1965 and was converted into a control cab in early 1995, eventually being paired with 3096. It was sold to Quebec Railway Corporation in March 2004 and following a rebuild by Industrial Rail Services in Moncton, New Brunswick, it was acquired by the Pennsylvania-based West Chester Railroad in 2010.

CP train 505 with SD40-2 5581, SOO Line SD40B 6450 and CR Leasing SD40 609 are approaching the east siding switch at Wolverton, which is situated just west of Ayr, Ontario on the Galt Subdivision. Here they would meet train 510, which had already taken the siding at Wolverton. This one of a kind SOO Line unit is ex-BN SD40B 7600 and nee-BN SD40 6302. While CRL SD40 609 is ex-Conrail 6262 and nee-PC 6262.

During a Saturday evening, CN GP9RM 4111 with caboose 79817, along with GP9RM 4109 and caboose 79513 await their next assignments in Kitchener, Ontario. Unlike today, during the mid-90’s the Kitchener-based CN locals rarely worked on the weekends, so power was easily shootable across from the VIA Rail station.
