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.

As the moon rises and clouds blur across the night sky, Canadian National G878 rolls past the ancient coaling tower in the sleepy town of Washago, Ontario. With G878 moving at a steady 15 M.P.H through town, the motion in this scene was both frozen by my external flash and accentuated by a 59 second exposure. As some of you may know, today I launched a web series called Railway Ties! The series will explore various aspects of Canadian railroading, as told from the unique first-person perspective of the train. Coincidentally, the pilot episode entitled "Canada's Freight Train" features a scene from this same location. After all, Washago has long been one of my favourite places to watch trains... To view the pilot episode of Railway Ties and see this familiar location under the cover of a late winter's snowstorm, click the following link: <a href=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJzDNKuVnp8> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJzDNKuVnp8 </a>

The weather is getting warmer, the days are filled with sunshine and it feels like spring has finally arrived in Southern Ontario! While the trees start to bloom and flowers blossom, CN has really been providing some colour of their own. Here, CN train no. 435 cruises through Paris with a grab-bag consist while some locals head towards the fishing ponds on a lovely May afternoon.

<b> The Trains of Canada 150: </b> Making good time across Eastern Ontario, Canadian Pacific train no. 40B wastes no time as it completes a quick crew change at Smiths Falls, ON before proceeding east to Montreal. With serendipitous timing, 40B pulled into Smiths Falls just as an Ottawa-bound VIA train rolled through with one of their funky Canada 150 units shoving on the rear. Seeing two generations of passenger locomotives celebrating Canada's heritage was quite special.

With the sun shining and the birds singing, it is a gorgeous August morning as Canadian Pacific train no. 40B races along the Belleville Subdivision at Cherrywood. Fresh out of Toronto yard, the train will make good time across Eastern Ontario before changing crews at Smiths Falls and crossing into Quebec for their next show in Montreal. Stephen Host and I chased the train 190 rail-miles east to Smiths Falls before calling it a day. Despite being out late playing rock n' roll the previous night and running on less than 2 hours of sleep, it was an exhilarating chase that was well worth the early morning. Thanks to everyone who kept us west-enders "in the know" on our chase from Toronto to Smiths Falls!

After the festivities have wrapped up and under the setting sun, Canadian Pacific 40B (the Canada 150 Train) prepares to make a reverse move into Aberdeen Yard on the north end of town. CP exemplified that, even in 2017, railroads still have a magic about them.
