Even the locals are a bit awe-struck as CN's "Nanticoke" steel train rumbles up the middle of Ferguson Ave.N. in downtown Hamilton on its way up the hill thru Rymal, Caledonia, Hagersville and Garnet to the destination at the big steel facility on Lake Erie, about a 36 mile trip. Power this day is CN 9169, 9196, 9172 with a rather short train. Caboose at each end so power can run around train upon return.

The classic over/under at Beare. It's pretty easy to do. First, open two shots in photoshop, one CP and one CN... heh. Ok, it's legit. CN 2100, 2544, and 5705 lead 149's train up the grade while CP 142's crew will be notching up 8712 and 8522 as their tail is now clear Staines. Back in the day, they'd already be rolling pretty good through here, but with 10,000' or greater trains on the Belleville Sub now, they're still watching the counter as they approach the crossing with CN. And CN? 10,000' is so 2001. 1439hrs.

<b>Ice Storm</b> damage, is evident and the Killean mileboard seems to double as a cross-arm supporting the signal wires. CP Train 640 with CEFX 1052, CSXT 4042 and CSXT 860 is passing through this glistening winter wonderland as trees droop precariously over the right of way and blades of grass struggle to stand, all covered in ice. <br><br><b>ORDER A PRINT</b> of this image here at Fine Art America <a href=http://fineartamerica.com/featured/ice-stephen-host.html> http://fineartamerica.com/featured/ice-stephen-host.html</a>
