<h2><strong>Changes...</strong></h2> <p>It is very sad how often once well known locations across Ontario can be ruined so quickly. Not only was this a spot where many railfans could shoot 1960's era searchlights, It was also a quiet and safe spot to hang out while not having to worry about trespassing or unwanted "people".</p> <p>Now, neither is the case anymore and it's unfortunate. For those who do not know, recently some railfans who were at this spot got threatened with a 600$+ fine by CN Police for just standing on the gravel/dirt road (at the left of the pic). Apparently that is CN's property even though there aren't any signs or fences in front of the dirt road saying this.</p> <p>This was my first and probably last time shooting this location, but what I have heard from many other railfans was that they have never gotten bothered by CN for railfanning here and even that this short road was owned by the City of Halton. Well I don't think this is the case anymore.... Railway police should really be putting in effort inside of their own yards keeping watch of people who actually steal valuable railway equipment instead of harassing innocent railfans who just want to enjoy some trains. Feel free to comment about this because I want your opinions! I could be talking out of my rear end here ????</p> <p>Enough ranting, for those who stuck around, here is the Halton's finest L570 with a new C6M leading going by some foreman setting up new Vaders for the approach Speyside/Mansewood Control Points.</p>

<h2>For those who like the "people side" of railroading...</h2> <p>With a trainee on board, <strong>CPKC H89</strong> is ready to depart Lobo after meeting an EB to head to Glencoe for yet another meet</p> <p>The leader for this train is 3016, which is rather a unique unit as it is a faded <strong>GP38AC</strong> but has a completely refurbished interior, making the unit actually a solid choice for the crew</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/190433685@N04/55182540178/in/dateposted-public/">Higher Quality Image</a></p>

<h1>The More You Know</h1> <p>CP 9017 takes the lead in day 1 of a multiple day CWR train on the Hamilton sub back in March of this year. Everything on the railway is a gamble, as I was operating on a hunch that the train was going to run on this day, but I took it as it would of been my first time seeing a Canadian Pacific barn leader</p> <p>Lord and behold, I had woken up to a text that one of my buddies was on the train, and the game was on. After getting held up by 3 trains before heading down the Hamilton sub (no surprise there), it slowly leans along Waterdown North after dropping rail a few hundred meters down the line where I was standing </p> <p>But, just a few months after, I discovered that there is a station (now used as an office) behind where the lead units are in the frame. I totally did not notice this as the trees were blocking off most of the structure from me as I waited for the train to finish dumping rail</p> <br> <p>Click here for Steven Host's better angle of <a href="https://www.railpictures.ca/upload/hidden-in-plain-sight-heres-one-for-the-station-guysa-photo-that-took-some-planning-and-time-to-execute-when-i-saw-arnold-mooneys-photo-of-waterdown-north-in-1980-i-looked-on-the-map-and-s" target="_blank">the station</a> with a northbound train </p>

<h2><strong>History Awaits, Created By You!</strong></h2> <p> CN L514 departs the small town of Blenheim Ontario, with CN 4116 taking the lead. This is only just a small snapshot of what used to be here compared to this spot back in the pre 1990s. Crazy enough that this line used to be busy enough with C&O Traffic to justify CTC, in which evidence of signal masts still scattered around the old Blenheim junction just a mile behind me. Purely fascinating, if only I had a time machine.... But you take what you have, and over the years I have learned to not take everything for granted, even if most people cant see it yet. This is one of the very few railway lines that I actually feel could get abandoned in my lifetime. </p> <p> So, this summer, I took the time in, with many attempts over the years, to see 514 leading northbound with cars in some nice afternoon sunlight. Not that hard right? :) Well, this particular job is very unpredictable, in which the crew can be called at any time, usually depending on when 439 arrives into Windsor, but can still vary throughout the day. But fine, lets say they get ordered in the afternoon, then add on the uncertainty of them bringing cars OUT of Blenheim, or even running down here at all. Not to even mention the amount of times I have had a cloud wall come out of nowhere right as they were departing the town or the sun setting too soon. Anyways, enough complaining, as that's not what I am here to do. The main point of the speech is to always document document document! As you never know this could be the last time you experience it! </p>

<b>Old Toronto</b> <br> With alarms set in the early morning hours to see if H17 will be daylight in Toronto, I get a call from a friend saying that they are lined down the Mactier sub, about an hour before sunrise. Unfortunately, the train was already approaching Elder as I got on the subway to attempt a searchlight shot on the Belleville. So, I went to the closest spot to not risk missing the train in the morning light, which was at Bartlett. This was my first time back at Bartlett since the signals were cut over, and the scene definitely felt different. But the buildings beside the road still give the spot some photographic value, along with the puddle to make the shot even better.

While the horribly off schedule spray train was slowly moving along the Galt back in July of 2022 and was about to tie down in London, I managed to get else good. Notice the Sante Fe lettering on the nose which was an added plus. This train was delayed 2 hours by CP 130 and H98, blocking access through the tunnel due to 130 having air problems.

<strong><em>A GTW Gathering</em></strong> CN L580 slowly rolls by some residents in Hagersville, watching the unloading of transformations. A good surprise as GTW 6420 rolls into town.

<h1>Stop, History is Crossing</h1> <p>After hearing the GP7s were out again after not running since 2021, I instantly got reminded when I used to get a bit jelly about other people's shots, since I probably knew I was never going to see them. <b><u>Luckily</u></b>, I managed to find an available day to go, and safe to say after trying to find out which job 383 was, I grabbed some nice goodies for my collection. The job ended up also working Putnam and CAMI, making the trip very well worth it!</p> <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/1qEdQEb_HbM?feature=share" target="_blank"> <button>Watch the short video on Youtube</button> </a>

ONT 211 heads to east Rouyn-Noranda, QC alongside highway 117 which would be a very helpful road for the chase into the city in which they will work

CPKC 2-H92 blasts past Lobo siding on the way to London on Canada day with 5743 serving as the leader. Safe to say it was one of the best Canada days for railfans...

After looking at the weather and noticing that some afternoon snow would be forecasted, I had planned to get CN 438 with 2510 leading in hopes to see it was some half-decent snow. But, after checking my phone mid day, I had found out that there was a CSX YN2 leading a 2-H89 by Denfeld. Well, in hopes of not getting screwed over by light, I decided to go out as far east as I could go, and made it here to WSS Tilbury. The longer I waited, the more the snow was piling up, making for an amazing snow show for the CSX to go through! I also managed to get 438 as well in even more snow too! But that will be another photo for later...

The 0700 Hamilton Job departs Stelco on a toasty Thursday as they make their way back to CN Stuart yard. 2926 has gotten into a collision with a truck at Wentworth the day after this shot, making the unit still unserviceable as of now.

After CPKC 239 with the dual BNSF H2's did a run down to Windsor the day prior, 231 swaps power in London a few hours after the duo had returned on 238 in the dark. Luckily this meant I could see the duo in some decent lighting in the Chatham-Kent area. Enjoy some classic signals on the Windsor sub

0530 has proven to be a primal time for waking up to watch these early morning EBs on the Windsor sub. Here was have 734 with a UP SD70M leader. Who knows how long it will be until these are in all storage.

Unbelievable could be one of many words said about this years Canada day. After spending almost a whole day trying to track 5743's moves in Windsor the day before and trying to figure the reason why they were being unpredictable, I decided at the end of the day that the chances of the famous SD40-2 leading an eastbound would be slim to none, especially in shootable lighting. Still, I decided to wake up at 5:30 am to turn on my scanner for some hope. Only 30 minutes after, and being half sleep, I heard the crew of 134/2-H89 call themselves CP 5743 East. Safe to say I was immediately was no longer half-asleep... The chase began with me running out of my house at 6 am in the morning, and chased him to my first spot; here at the Tilbury curve. Something you could literally dream about in a railfans mind; waiting out in the country with the early morning birds chirping, hearing a horn in the distance, with a SD40 rounding the curve. The weather couldn't of been more perfect today, and I do not think I could ever have this experience with a SD40 ever again...

After rotting in Oakwood Jct on NS and in Windsor Ontario for about 15 hours, it finally departs and makes its way towards Tilbury in some perfect golden morning light.

Well that day was something...A definite surprise on CP 234 as they make there way into Windsor Ontario. Sitting in English class, I got told that a 234 was around the border with a "Fakebonnet", was leading it. Knowing me, I couldn't focus the rest of my class as I had to give updates to many people and making up plans to see it. Making it out right after school, 234 sits across the border waiting on CP 131, and then waiting for almost a whole hour. In this photo, 234 backs into Windsor yard to tie down. The engine would get picked up by a CP 131 the next day.

After spending almost 7 hours from London to Windsor due to hot wheel problems and having to save a train due to lost fuel, CP 141 does a crew change in Walkerville with CP 8781 taking the lead. The crew was very friendly, giving me a chance to get this shot of the engine! Enjoy
