Comments on: OSRX 378 and 383 head back west on the CP Galt Sub to begin their journey on the St. Thomas Sub and points west. The shot was taken early in the autumn of 2015.

You are wetting my appetite. I have not done any serious train chasing in several years now. Even more so than taking pictures I would love to hear a pair of F-units rev up as they get their train under way. A sound of my youth and where all this interest began, at the train station going on a trip. It’s a drive but not to big from Edmonton to the Toronto area. Honey! The guys want me to come chase trains. Can we go? Heh Heh.

The pride of the fleet is actively leading trains lately:

Extra 1014 where are you from? OSR is very much worth your visit, and don’t forget the Guelph Junction division which has been using the ALCO/MLW’s for the last month:

The Guelph Junction division is a 45 minute drive from the Salford division. You can easily do both in one day too.

Between both divisions on an average weekday, OSR runs four to six trains a day using classic motive power not found on Class 1′s.

Cool! GP9′s still working and earning a living with high hoods. This also is the same short line that is using the blue and white F-units? You Ontario guys have it made in the shade right now.
