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, a seven car train, Ottawa to Toronto via the (now lifted) Smiths Falls subdivision (mostly at 25 mph) then onto the Kingston sub, west of Napanee the engineer let 6060 really run: at 80+ mph 6060 sounded like the Turbo ! Then a brief stop at Port Hope demonstrated that the 'grape vine' really worked (who needs "social media" ! ) : the whole town showed up! sdfourty.

...if you wait long enough...
<br>
<br>
...anything can show up at CP Agincourt....
<br>
<br>
somehow MLW RS23 #8041 ( 'ugly 80') strayed from the confines of N.B. ( assigned to Saint John) and
<br>
<br>
that ALCO, 1943 built, S2 is a 'senior' as of 1977 ( and those S2's had the ' lumpiest ' idle imaginable)

At CP Rail Agincourt, February 1977 Kodak Tri X negative by S. Danko
<br>
<br>
what 's interesting
<br>
<br>
CPR 7012 predates ' modern ' CPR steam power: all the G5's / some P2's / the T1c's ( MLW built Pacific / CLC & MLW built Mikado / MLW built Selkirk )
<br>
<br>
8041 and sisters became Windsor and Hantsport power ( and other sisters daily OSR power)
<br>
<br>
7012 retired by 1986
<br>
<br>
... from time to time a 7000 series would be assigned to the 'Push' , to assist eastbounds up the hill from Leaside ( North Toronto Sub east end ) through Don Mills , Kennedy ( Belleville Sub) to Agincourt – the S2 pulling power was something to see & hear: at Leaside, a single S2, would lift two 4700's and their train while the 4700's crew put up their feet and watched the show !

The Geco Branch
<br>
<br>
The GM Scarborough Van Plant
<br>
<br>
two ubiquitous Geeps CN4520 / 4515 ( back to back, long hood forward) pull a long string of loaded auto racks southward to the light at Geco, mile 327.0 Kingston Subdivision, and then proceed westward to the Don Yard

<br>
Near Geco in Scarborough, April 1978, Kodak Tri X negative by S. Danko
<br>
<br>
what's interesting
<br>
<br>
The last time I saw the CN green and gold livery on an in service CN unit (a 1200 series GMD SW1200RS ) was on the Geco Branch.
<br>
<br>
Geco Branch had sharp curves, limited visibility and several crossings: special instruction employee timetable “ Geco 'GO' signal located on Geco branch, 3815 feet east of signal 3269. When the word 'GO' is illuminated it will indicate proceed to signal 3269 and there be governed by signal indication.....”
<br>
<br>
part of the Geco Branch includes the former CNoR Toronto Montreal mainline …..as well as,
<br>
<br>
the CNoR mainline route through what is now Taylor Creek Park – today a hydro right of way – to near the TTC Victoria Park Subway station;
<br>
<br>
the above ground TTC Bloor Danforth Subway from Vic Park to Warden is on or parallel to the CNoR mainline;
<br>
<br>
at TTC Warden Subway part of the CN Geco Branch is on the CNoR mainline route to near the Kennedy Road railway crossing (just south of Eglinton) where the Geco curves south to join the Uxbridge Subdivision mile 59.7 (switch points face south).
<br>
<br>
further on, north of Ellesmere east of McCowan part of the TTC Scarborough RT yard is on the CNoR mainline route
<br>
<br>
and way farther east, some of the remaining Cobourg industrial trackage north and parallel to the Kingston Subdivision is on the CNoR mainline route.
<br>
<br>
And now today ( December 2019 ) we remember the GM 'shwa plant(s).....

what's interesting
<br>
<br>
Winnipeg Union Station excluded the CPR. WUS was built as a joint venture between the Canadian Northern Railway (CNoR), National Transcontinental (NTR), Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (GTP) and the Dominion government.
<br>
<br>
First train serviced WUS in 1911.

...Time Capsule....
<br>
<br>
...September 1980 observing this scene, I felt that I was experiencing a Time Capsule...
<br>
<br>
...Now, 39 years later looking at this Kodachrome....
<br>
<br>
CN 6727, a 'modern' GE steeple cab electric, built 1950, with a sister *, in charge of the the mid morning downtown bound commuter.
<br>
<br>
September 19, 1980 at Val Royale, Kodachrome by S.Danko
<br>
<br>
what's interesting
<br>
<br>
if that motor 6727 is old, those commuter coaches are ancient !....at least 3 decades older than 6727...
<br>
<br>
CN 6727 ( not all 6700's were FPA's ! ) is the former CN 200, acquired the new number in 1969
<br>
<br>
note * only three steeple cabs in this class: 6725 6726 6727, all retired by 1995
<br>
<br>
maybe a Montreal based contributor can do the other half of a ''Time Machine”?

The restored ( 2005 ) Edmundston CPR station originally built by the CPR circa 1930, from plans supplied by the office of the CPR’s Chief Engineer in Montreal.
<br>
<br>
Restoration included retaining much of the original interior room and related woodworking.
<br>
<br>
The station is a Regional Information Center and the Edmundston Madawaska Tourism Office. Current transportation uses include a cycling trail rest stop and an electric vehicle recharge station,
<br>
<br>
what's interesting
<br>
<br>
The 1930 station replaced a two story station built by a predecessor railway, the New Brunswick Land and Railway ( 1881 name change to New Brunswick Railway ).
<br>
<br>
CPR sold off most N B assets * (timber lands and railway lands, rights of way) by 1941 to the Irving group, retaining operational rights. Most CPR N.B. service ended circa 1987, * excepting CAR (McAdam) line.

Hydro Quebec was a strong objector at the CTC abandonment hearings.
<br>
<br>
“Hydro Quebec opposed the abandonment as it considers rail to be the only effective method of transporting its large, heavy equipment to Hydro Quebec stations served by the Ste. Agathe Subdivision.
<br>
<br>
...the Quebec Ministry of Transport refused Hydro Quebec's request to transport by road the transformers from the Grand-Brûlé Substation. The transformers weigh 107,000 kg each. There are 6 transformers in total with 2 transformers currently being repaired at the maintenance facility at Varennes, Quebec. One transformer will be returned to Grand-Brûlé [substation located near Mount-Tremblant ] in December 1989 and the second transformer will be returned at the beginning of 1990. The remaining four transformers will be transported to the repair facility in 1990, 1991 and 1992.” (source: CTC Hearings documents at the abandonment application)
