CN 4534 and CN 4533 round the bend through Bayview Junction. They are about to exit the Dundas Subdivision and head towards Aldershot. On the right of the photo is a couple of young railfans...perhaps they could Mr. Adeney and Mr. Mooney? This photo is from my Great Grandfather Charles Bishop's collection.

In this bucolic scene TTC 412, with its headlight lens swinging in the breeze, is southbound for Toronto immediately north of Centre Street in Thornhill. Motor car traffic does not seem to be a problem on this Wednesday afternoon. Down in the valley behind 412 two golf courses were, and still are, located on either side of Yonge Street. Apart from the widening of the road to four clogged lanes, this scene is not all that different today. Closure of the North Yonge line came only four days after the photo was taken.

Canadian Pacific train No. 409 curves through Mink Tunnel along the spectacular shoreline of Lake Superior at Coldwell, Ontario. In my notebook from 1993, it says it was a one hour climb up to this viewpoint, and another hour down; and I was a lot younger back then too!

The Northlander curves through Mount Albert as it rides the red blocks of CN 316. A lot of clear to stop signals allows one to get ahead of the train for a few bonus shots on the south end of the Bala. 1815hrs.

Retired in late 2001, LRC Locomotive #6917 was given a new lease on life during the summer of 2010 when it was saved from the scrapper's torch by efforts from the Toronto Railway Historical Association. The unit currently sits at VIA's Toronto Maintenance Centre where it is lovingly worked on by a dedicated team of volunteers. The eventual plan is to have the locomotive cosmetically restored and in operating condition, potentially in service on a tourist line. See: http://www.trha.ca/LRC/ for more information. Taken on VIA property with permission and full PPE.

I remember when the F59's were boring. They still are, but less so than the MP40's that have largely replaced them. Two holdouts, bobtailed 561 and 562 power a westbound train through Pickering, Ontario. 1303hrs.
