Two MLW C-424s sandwich an M-636 at Mearns Road, Bowmanville, ON in late March 1993. The low angle winter afternoon sun lights up this westbound.

This CP Budd RDC was in maintenance of way service when I photographed parked on the now lifted Bowmanville team track. The location is just west of the Bowmanville Creek bridge, almost exactly where the defect detector is located (MP 164.5)

Trains 282 and 283 were the MOQ Ecorail intermodal trains in 1996. Similar to Roadrailer technology, but with the added feature of a control cab and distributed power modules instead of a conventional locomotive. That was the theory anyway. In practice, I never saw the power modules distributed within the train, instead they were always immediately behind the control cab. The train pictured is a typical late running 283, which had obviously had mechanical issues and was being rescued by a GP9. The trains' unreliability led within a short time to their replacement by Roadrailer trains 182 and 183, which themselves only lasted for about a year.

Three GO Transit weekend leasers power this CP westbound on the Belleville sub in April 1988. This was shot looking south east from Bests Road (off Wesleyville Road south of highway 401.) Don't bother today, as it's totally overgrown.

The quintessential early 1990s CP Belleville sub lash-up (3 big MLWs and 4 SDs) crossing the Ganaraska river in Port Hope, ON on an eastbound. September 1993. Co-ordinates are for where I was standing to capture this shot.

CP SD40-2 #5674 leads two MLW M-636s on a westbound through the Newtonville S-curve. This is the more rarely photographed west end of the curve. September 1990. Back then it could be accessed from Elliott Road. With the construction of the nuclear waste dump and the windmill farm, that road is now private (and gated.) A determined railfan who tried to emulate this shot can get there from Lancaster Road or even Nichols Road then across country. The foliage has grown up, but last time I was there in 2008 there was still an angle that was unobscured.

CP MLW M-636 #4743 leads an unknown westbound train symbol westbound at Lovekin siding in this panned shot. Both conductor and head-end brakeman have me fixed in their gaze, and are probably wondering how I got there so fast after our previous encounter Stacey Road, Hope Township.

A D5 dimensional load at speed passing through Lovekin siding on CP's Belleville sub. The owner, Kasgro, calls this particular car a "12-AXLE FM" It's a 370 Ton 48' Straight Deck Flat Car, with a load capacity of 744,000 lbs, so this is a pretty serious piece of equipment.
