Not the most spectacular picture that I have taken, but given the circumstances it was one that I was happy to get because this pair of EMDs sure looked great side-by-side. RLK 3873 was backing into the yard as 330 moved forward, giving me a window of about 2 feet to snap a shot, or I would of had the Macnab Street bridge in the corner of the picture!

Railfanning in the city of Hamilton, Illinois Central Sunday evening rail...a sight for sore eyes indeed, IC 1001 leads train 330 from Sarnia with traffic for Port Robinson at Stuart Street Yard. In the background one can notice something is obviously missing, yes, the 1929 built Bay Street bridge is in the demolition process to make way for a new non-rotted out bridge.

CP 254 catches some evening sunlight as it meanders through downtown Hamilton, crossing over a trestle still stencilled for the TH&B.

In a scene reminiscent of the past, one can truly get a sense of industrial railroading by following either CP or SOR's belt trackage through North Hamilton. Here, CP's Belt Line job is seen trundling along ex-TH&B trackage at Birmingham St, with Dofasco looming in the distance. With the many power 'upgrades' going on at CP these days, the day will come when it will be impossible to shoot a trio of CP Geeps, get your shots while you can!

With the GJR job headed off north to serve the city of Guelph, OSRX 505 holds a pair of ex RailLink F units (acquired last year) outside of the shop. Little did I know that within a few hours these units were to be transferred west to Woodstock by CP's London Pickup. I remember seeing these units in Goderich last Summer in near derelict condition, and it made me think how much I would love to see them move once again, thankfully they were purchased by the OSR and avoided the scrappers torch.

A brief break from the overcast sky provides some nice sunlight as CN 554 waits at Hamilton Junction for radio confirmation from the Oakville dispatcher to proceed back to Aldershot Yard.

0620: The second 'longest day' starts early at Bayview Junction for the annual railfan meet, here CN 421 is seen heading towards the Grimsby Sub with freight for Ft. Erie, ON.

Typically a late night train, CP 247 makes an unusual afternoon appearance as it rolls northbound along the Hamilton Sub and through a soybean field on the way to Guelph Junction. Because of the trailing SD40-2s, which seem to be getting even more difficult to catch on the mainline these days, a chase to the Junction ensued.

In this wide angle scene, CP 8951 thunders across the 102 year old trestle above the Bronte Creek in Progreston, ON. The town of Progreston was established around mills that were powered by the nearby waterfall. In the early 1900s Progreston had become a manufacturing centre, however, by the 1950s Progreston had deteriorated to only a handful of residences. Today Progreston remains as a hamlet, part of Carlisle and part of the even larger Hamilton Area.

A foreign leader to the Hamilton Subdivision, CN 5766 leads Sudbury-Buffalo manifest 246 down the Niagara Escarpment on the 'Cow Path' at Hamilton West in absolutely brilliant morning light. The story behind the CN leader is that it is using up some remaining horsepower hours, none-the-less it made for something interesting to shoot and left a group of railfans standing there giddy.

With blossoms in full bloom spring is evident in the small community of Vinemount, Ontario as CP 9007 and 5949 roll through town with a unit Herzog ballast train. This train only added to the list of oddities that made their way across the Hamilton Subdivision on this ideal late May day.

With a pair of GP9s for power, The Pender Job backs its train into a siding along the Ayr Industrial Spur on a gorgeous Victoria Day evening. About half an hour after I took this photo the train dropped its sole hopper car on the ground when proceeding back onto the Galt Sub at the wye.

Amtrak's Toronto-Albany train # 97 'The Maple Leaf' makes its station stop at the St. Catharines VIA station, framed by the green railings of St. Paul Street. Now days this is the only passenger train to stop in St. Catharines, at least until the GO trains start again.

Focusing in on the smaller details, an old CNR lock provides a nice juxtaposition to CN 2100 (née CNW 8553) which it sat on the Fort Erie shop track all day due to a boxcar with a bad-order.

The Hamilton GO trains are tied down at TH&B's Hunter Street station on a gorgeous Good Friday afternoon. TH&B's Hunter Street station, now the Hamilton GO Centre was built by Fellheimer and Wagner in 1933 and is a rare example of Art Moderne architecture in Canada.
