<b> Guelph Jct. circa 1986..err 2016</b>
At a quick glance, the OSR yard at Guelph Junction looks reminiscent of a scene from the 1980s. Even though the year is 2016, there is unmistakable Canadian Pacific heritage all around. Here, today's 1200 GJR job has just returned to home-base at Guelph Junction and momentarily pauses in golden evening light before returning to the shops for the night.

Twenty minutes after sunset, Canadian Pacific's Chicago to Montreal stack train no. 142 is seen passing by a farm house on a gloomy spring evening in Flamborough, Ontario.

Having biked to this location from my house (about a quarter mile down the road) I managed to beat the train with less than a minute to spare. This didn't leave me with enough time to set up a tripod but with a frenetic guess at my exposure and steady hands I was able to save the shot.

This is one of those photos that can be filed under the 'it won't happen again' category. On a cloudy day in November of 2011, an eclectic quartet of EMD's are seen working their way down the Hamilton Subdivision with ethanol train # 626. Later that evening, Eric Portelli and I saw The Sheepdogs play at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton. Hard to believe that this photo was taken over four and a half years ago!

Five days into Spring, mother nature shows us otherwise as evidenced by this icy scene at Flamborough, Ontario. Although the ice-covered trees made for a photogenic scene, they have also caused power outages since late last night.

From high atop the hill, SOO 6027 is seen passing the historic Hamilton Brick Works with Canadian Pacific train no. 246 as they set off their steel in Kinnear Yard. In all of my years photographing trains in Hamilton, this angle has evaded me - in fact, I didn't even know it existed. Surprisingly, though, this angle is quite accessible. However all you need is a train - thankfully CP played ball.

To me, OSR in downtown Ingersoll represents the epitome of small-town railroading in Canada. This a scene that I have tried to capture on multiple occasions but one that has always proved to be a bit challenging. However, on this stormy morning all of the elements came together. Under a dark October sky, OSR 1400 (an ex-CN FP9A) is seen creeping across Thames Street with sister unit 1401. Thanks to convenient sucker-hole, my envisioned scene had come to life.

<b>' Tis the season of the plow!</b> The Ontario Southland drew a modest crowd this afternoon as they busted heavy snow drifts between Salford and St. Thomas, with a pair of F9A's and a vintage CP plow doing the honours.

<b>Apple Crisp!</b> A brawny EMD SD60M (ex-SOO 6059) guides Canadian Pacific train # 640 down the Hamilton Subdivision, just south of the 'Guelph Junction' mileboard on a crisp February afternoon.

<b>King Harvest Has Surely Come!</b>.Canadian Pacific ethanol train # 641 crests the hill at Mile 68.50 of the Hamilton Subdivision with a very special visitor - Union Pacific 1989, a heritage unit which wears the famed Rio Grande paint scheme. To my knowledge this is the first heritage unit to traverse the Hamilton Subdivision, and this is the first one that I have ever seen. With orange leaves, and a heavy October Sky it appears that 'King Harvest' has surely come (reference to a song by The Band).

Please excuse the less than desirable image - but how often do you see a massive lash-up like this? The storm is brewing as CP 255 gets moving on the Galt Subdivision, after making the 16 mile trek up the mountain grade through Waterdown on the Hamilton Subdivision. Power is CP 9522-9591-2292-2282-2281-2286-2290-9598.

A stellar pair of EMD's charge an 'around the lakes' detour through CN Snake on a sunny morning in August. Thanks to a timely update from James Gardiner in the railfan group, I was able to shoot my first Illinois Central leader in good lighting. This train (CN 349) originated at Kirk Yard in Gary, Indiana and is bound for Symington Yard in Winnepeg - a whole lotta' detouring to avoid the windy city!

<b>Canada's Finest</b>. Ever since I was a child I have always been spellbound by the elegance of Canadian Pacific's small but notable fleet of F Units. Since I first saw photographs of the Royal Canadian Pacific in Greg McDonnell's 'Stand Fast Craigellachie' many years ago, I have always wanted to photograph these units for myself. Finally, after years of waiting I was given my chance to photograph this remarkable set of locomotives. In a pastoral scene not too far away from the hustle and bustle of Toronto's many suburbs, train 40B rushes towards London with a photogenic lash-up and notable passengers on board. Upon receiving news that this train was coming through, I didn't hesitate to go through a little extra effort to get the shot I wanted. In this case, it was clinging from the top of a tree. What we do for trains.
