Déjà vu: Road-worn, but still earning their keep, a pair of 'Zebra Stripe' GP38-2Ws guide train L540 through Guelph, ON in a scene that likely hasn't played out since CN last operated on this line in the 1990s. Up until CN's takeover of the Guelph Subdivision on November 16th, 2018, this line was operated by the Goderich-Exeter Railway.

On the afternoon following the region's first major snowstorm, and CN's takeover of the GEXR, Quebec & Gatineau 2008 lugs CN train no. 432 through the countryside at Mosborough, ON. A shot of redemption for those trackside after GEXR's rather unceremonious departure from Southern Ontario the day prior. Although these locomotives don't read "GEXR", their character is everything railfans came to love the railroad for. Nothing like old-school EMDs hauling heavy duty tonnage at speed. Perhaps things didn't end the way people had expected them to, but as far as I'm concerned, this send off was good enough for me.

A hint of Southern Pacific in the Royal City. With less than a week until the CN takeover, GEXR train no. 431 rumbles through downtown Guelph with an ex-Cotton Belt tunnel motor doing the honours. The recently applied 'after market' nose decal was a welcomed addition!

Toronto to North Bay train no. 451 hustles along CN’s scenic Newmarket Subdivision at Scotia, ON. Can you see why this is my favourite time of year?

On the road up to the Soo I couldn't resist making a few obligatory stops along the way. Here, CN train no. 486 is seen rolling over the Seguin River in beautiful Parry Sound, Ontario. This is the first photo that I’ve taken with my DJI Mavic Pro that I’ve liked enough to share.

The northbound Agawa Canyon tour train is seen rollin’ through Searchmont along “The Tracks of The Black Bear”. Having performed my song about the ACR at a music festival in Sault Ste. Marie the previous night, it sure felt good to get back!

60 kilometres south of their station stop at Sudbury Junction, VIA Rail's flagship train, “The Canadian” is seen racing across the muskeg of Northern Ontario at mile 96.4 of the Canadian Pacific Parry Sound Subdivision. For roughly 130 kilometres, CP’s mainline more or less parallels the Trans-Canada Highway, making for an exciting chase through the beautiful and rugged Shield country. The Canadian, of course, was a fantastic subject to follow on my travels North.

The Amtrak Maple Leaf glides through Steeltown as it nears the end of its journey from New York City to Toronto. Hamilton locals might recognize the brick building in the background, which given the train, made for an aptly coloured scene of red, white and blue.

This (former) CSX GE C40-8W and the steel mills in the background set a scene that looks more like Illinois than Ontario. Nonetheless, GECX 7700 is seen guiding CN train no. 330 across Sherman Avenue on a pleasant June evening in Hamilton, Ontario.

After spraying down the Hamilton Subdivision and making a quick turnaround, D&H 7303 hustles northbound towards Guelph Junction under the last, last rays of sun.

For the second year in a row, Canadian Pacific has tasked one of only two locomotives in original Delaware & Hudson paint to their annual spray train. Here, D&H 7303 negotiates one of the many curves at Waterdown, Ontario as the train descends the Niagara Escarpment on the Hamilton Subdivision.
