Hands down, the best chase I've ever done on the Havelock Sub, and I've done a few, was January 18, 2009. It had snowed much of the previous night on the moraine, and kept snowing, heavily at times, all the way from Toronto to Peterborough, where I finally ended the pursuit. Shot after shot after shot of them running through a winter wonderland, all the time pushing a wall of snow up to, and sometimes above, the top of the plow at least as far east as Cavan Station. So much snow that the ditchlight on the hogger's side has shorted out (it was working when they left Toronto Yard. Pictured is the train blowing for the Porter Road crossing south of Bethany, behind CP 3042, 8200, 3045, and 3105 with 30 cars on the headpin. 1217hrs.

  1. Multi mark on the point in 2009! Good catch. I admire you going out in those conditions and the reward was well worth it! :)

  2. Looks like a chase to be envious of.
