About sdfourty

Best hobby in the world ! A photographer friend recommended the Nikon brand, bought my first used Nikon in 1976 and continue to use that Nikon body regularly. Best ever train ride: Extra 6060 west, with seven blue with yellow stripes CC&F cars, Ottawa to Toronto via the now lifted Smiths Falls subdivision - at 25 mph, then onto the Kingston sub, west of Napanee the engineman let 6060 run: at 80+ mph, sounded like the Turbo ! Then a quick deceleration & stop at Port Hope: the crowd was huge ! And demonstrated that the 'grape vine' really worked (who needs "social media" ! ) : the whole town showed up! sdfourty.

A late running and over powered Cobourg Turn.
<br>
<br>
Likely due to the Oshawa Turn being annulled, so the Coburg handled the Oshawa traffic which could explain the lateness and over powerness.

Two CP Rail MLW 1956 built RS-10s, 8572 and 8579 along with a SD40 sprint eastward through the Newtonville area.

<br>
<br>
Do Consider:
<br>
<br>
November 12, 1995: the StL&H – wholly owned by Canadian Pacific Limited 'acquired' the CP Rail Eastern and Atlantic Regions and both were put up for sale. Prospective purchasers may have included any of: CSX, NS, G & W, Rail America, Wisconsin Central, .... ? ...note that the ICC ( USA) approved the BNSF merger July 20, 1995. And at that time Warren Buffet, through Berkshire Hathaway, owned 22% of the new BNSF. (WB through BK acquired the remaining 77% of BNSF did not already own in 2009). ...hmmm...

Perhaps someone in the know may confirm the location?

Chessie lived a scant 14 years: 1972 to 1986, disappearing into the CSX conglomerate – although we did get our fill of Chessie on CP throughout the eighties.

Compare to today...the starkness of the railway right of way landscape really astounds me
<br>
<br>
and at the time, this type of landscape along the R of W was the norm...

A pair of SD40's easily handle the eastbound CP Rail Coburg Turn.

TEE time at Oriole.

And like most passenger equipment of that time – recycled.

This one recycled from Europe courtesy the Ontario Government.

Oh! If you hang around long enough....
<br>
<br>
The presence of a steam generator equipped, western based, CP Rail Geep 9 on VIA #1 indicates a regular 1400 series F unit required replacement. The 8512 is the future 1513 (Winnipeg).
<br>
<br>
The daily VIA #1 is traversing the CN Weston Subdivision and in under one mile, at Parkdale, will swing north on to the Newmarket Subdivision.
<br>
<br>
Next to the Budd built baggage dormitory car, that Manor series sleeping car is in crew dormitory service. And that car in VIA livery is likely a 5700 series Dayniter coach.
<br>
<br>
On the right is the CP Rail Galt Subdivision – the regular daily route of the CPR The Canadian.

<br>
For Real.

Noteworthy
<br>
<br>
Algonquin Park, the CPR version, built 1954 by The Budd Company, to CPR specifications, included a Mural Lounge (beneath the Dome) with two unique, hand painted murals and a hand painted map of Ontario's Algonquin Park for the Observation Lounge. All three created by the Canadian Group of Seven artist: A.J. Casson R.C.A.
<br>
<br>
Each of the eighteen 1954 built Park cars had different murals, uniquely depicting scenes within the parks after which the cars were named - hand painted by one of eighteen artists - selected by the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. The Mural Lounge main mural was 81 inch by 41 inch ( front wall), and the auxiliary mural 163 inch by 45 inch (window-side wall). Also each artist provided a 3 by 5 foot hand painted decorative map for the observation lounge that was mounted above the writing desk to the right of the dome staircase. VIA removed all the murals by 1986. (per Wikipedia), whether VIA holds the original murals somewhere, is unknown.
<br>
<br>
1990: VIA contracted Canadian designer Madeleine Arbour to recreate the Canadian train interiors with an 'Of Style & Steel' theme. “ ...in the fabled Mural Lounge, a singular tradition is continued: displayed against tones of grey is an original work of art by one of sixteen acclaimed Canadian artists.” per VIA brochure. (excluded: Fundy Park (original murals by Lawren P. Harris Jr. A.R.C.A.) wrecked 1959 at Gull Lake, Saskatchewan and Sibley Park (original murals by Yvonne McK. Housser) donated to the Canadian Railway Museum ( Saint-Constant) August 2004).
<br>
<br>
An Un-Canadian Act, Shocking: In 2004, your VIA Rail Canada Inc. SOLD the ex CPR Algonquin Park to Luxury Rail. Ex CPR Algonquin Park currently resides at the Tennessee Valley Railway Museum., state of restoration unknown. Also sold 2004 ex CPR Riding Mountain Park (original murals by William Winter, A.R.C.A.) to a private party, currently for sale by Ozark Mountain Railcar, state of repair unknown.

Bridge series:
<br>
<br>
The expanse of the Ganaraska Viaduct is remarkable: 1,856 foot long ( 0.35 miles ).
<br>
<br>
The original single tracked GTR viaduct was built 1851 – 1856 with 54 piers.
<br>
<br>
The GTR named the bridge the Prince Albert Viaduct, with the first train officially crossing October 13, 1856.
<br>
<br>
GTR rebuilt and widened the PAV 1887 – 1983 with some 30 piers ( plus an arch) to allow double tracking.

Noteworthy: Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1819 – 1861) was the consort of Queen Victoria (1819 – 1901), Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland 1837 – 1901). [ consort is the spouse of a ruling monarch ]
<br>
<br>
Fun Fact - The Notable & The Famous: GTR 1854 – 1859 built Victoria Bridge (Pont Victoria), a k a Victoria Jubilee Bridge, is 1.9 miles long with 24 ice breaking piers and rebuilt 1897–1898 with new spans for double track and later adding the 'new' St. Lawrence Seaway Lift Bridge, also adding the Victoria Bridge diversion double track with a second SLS Lift Bridge: currently the CN St.Hyacinthe Sub miles 70.3 to 72.4 ( Montreal – Saint Lambert (south shore) – Drummondville).

<br>
… on final approach to the CN Newmarket station stop, June 2, 1979 Kodachrome by S.Danko
<br>
<br>
Noteworthy: In this image the VIA Train #1 – CANADIAN - has only 15 remaining daily trips on the CN Newmarket Sub (south of Washago and from Washago north on the Bala Sub to CN Boyne (CP Rail Reynolds) near South Parry).
<br>
<br>
The June 17, 1979 timetable re-routed the daily VIA #1 & 2 CANADIAN exclusively onto CP RAIL Vancouver (CN station) through Banff to/from Montreal (CN) Central Station.
<br>
<br>
and concurrently daily trains #3 & 4 SUPER CONTINENTAL exclusively on CN Vancouver through Jasper to/from Toronto Union.
<br>
<br>
VIA trains 1 & 2, 3 & 4: The June 17 1979 re-routings were only in place a couple of years, by June 1982 the SUPER CONTINENAL disappeared completely, replaced by 10 regional trains.
<br>
<br>
VIA #1 & 2 remained on CP RAIL through to the January 1990 debacle that slashed more than half of VIA services – thanks to YOUR Canadian Federal Government
<br>
<br>
Ponder: Wasn't VIA's original purpose to promote rail passenger travel ? However all VIA has done is reduce / divest services and continues to do so.....hmmm....

On a glorious June spring day.....
<br>
<br>
And sometimes the day's fanning just happens to all come together.....
<br>
<br>
And the word was out....effective July 1986 CP Rail eliminating the Operators' position at Guelph Junction...
<br>
<br>
And the fanning was very good that June 8.....three heavy freights within two hours.... on a Sunday morning!
<br>
<br>
And so much to do.....chatting with the Operator, checking the GO storage yard, checking the lighting conditions, lining up the photo angles....
<br>
<br>
And the Guelph Junction Operator stands her ground to hoop the Orders to the Eastbound's Conductor....

Notable: The Northlander – it is NOT !

the VIA time table states “ Nos. #121-122 O.N. trains operated on CN lines between Toronto on North Bay”
<br>
<br>
[no specific operating comment in the timetable regarding the operation of trains 120 (Sat), 123 ( Fri., Sun), 124 (Sun); presumably these operated by VIA using ONR equipment]
