With the Georgetown South Project coming to completion on the Weston Sub, there won't be many more occasions when VIA is forced to detour over the Newmarket Sub. Here's one of the last detours - VIA 84 at Fairbank, heading to Union in a snow squall.

Those U of T Engineers need to refresh their notes on the principle of "Measure Twice Cut Once".....then they'd get their sign to fit correctly! TTC 4400 is hard at work on the Spadina streetcar line on a bright winter day.

Who lived longer, the locomotive or the yard goat?CP 2839 was just an unwanted hulk in 1971, cast off after the Ontario Government changed its mind about a transportation oriented museum in Toronto. 2839 hung out in some of the best back alleys in Toronto, and then hunkered down in the John Street roundhouse. Eventually she was purchased by an enthusiast in the US, and went on to run some celebrated steam excursions for the Southern Railroad's steam program.Alas, while now looking much nicer, she is stuffed and mounted and unlikely to run again. Not so for her yard pusher, the CP 1057, which was enjoying her first day under steam as a preserved locomotive, and is still active with the South Simcoe Railroad in Tottenham.

Go ahead....try and bury me.....I can take it :-) Waiting for the plow to spray you is more exhilirating than that slow climb to the top of the roller coaster!

Some days you're the drift buster, some days you aren't. VIA 85 has a pristine nose after an on-time run from Toronto, while GEXR 2303 is preparing to take another shot at the Goderich line after only just escaping from the chilly depths of Ward's Cut.

It's just past sunset, and this year's Holiday Train is en route across Canada. A stop to entertain a large crowd at the former CP depot in Parry Sound is just a few train lengths ahead.

It's misty and muggy and still half dark, but the Ontario Southland is going to work. Today's travels will include both Tillsonburg and St Thomas.

The tail end of the Havelock Turn is barely off the bridge, and the bridgetenders are already at work opening the bridge for marine traffic.

Her second day of service on the OSR.....the loco is still pretty ratty, but likely a home run with the fan fraternity!

Bring on the NSPON !!! A pair of London-built EMD's are paying a visit to their birthplace, and points east. NS run throughs are becoming more common this spring on CP's Ontario lines. Let's hope the trend continues.

Last night's snowfall adds a little extra elbow grease to the working day of this CP yardman, as his train makes a delivery in Area H.

The loads aren't that hot, but they sure are fresh......a CP yard crew protects their movement as it passes the headquarters of the Pizza Pizza chain.

Things won't look like this much longer. The new Signal bridge behind the Mountainview Road overpass tells the story - a third track will soon be added at this location. Let's hope the morning shadows look as good on the widened right of way.

Remember those marvellous old Morant scenes, with westbound Selkirks cooling their heels in the siding while shiny streamliners made their station stop, disgorging passengers onto connecting tour buses? Not much has changed - here's the eastbound Rocky Mountaineer unloading en route to Calgary.
