Quite often in days past I would get the opportunity to shoot what amounts to an unusual scene. And usually I do not get an explanation as to what I am photographing. And even when I do, I think I will remember, and of course, don't. This image is a good example. The westbound passenger cannot be #77 because it would be dark out. The timetable shows #75 as an 'express' train right now, and it too would be under darkness as this image was shot before sundown and it is New Years' Eve, 1985. So perhaps this is train #83 and the afternoon Budds from Niagara meeting at Bayview. First, we have a widecab pressed into passenger service. This was common for awhile. But never did I see a passenger train stop at Bayview, exchange passengers with the Budds out of Niagara. Were the Budds late for the meet in Burlington? Did someone forget to hold the westbound so passengers to London and west could transfer? What should have in my mind been a smooth transfer from one train to another ended up being a fair group of people having trudge thru the snow on what was NOT a warm afternoon. Bet there were some tempers warming up the air though. Interesting scene. Happy New Year 1986. :o)

CP Train 244 w/CP 6261 on point and BNSF 6819 trailing roll past the Belle River mileboard on March 11, 2018. Once he cleared I had to call in to the CP Police as there was a dragging cut lever banging off the ties and crossings. Would have hated to heard that it came off and hit a car or worse yet, someone standing trackside. They stopped somewhere around Tilbury to inspect and carried on from there.

Another nice mid-week day off from work and there is no one around up at Dundas, so I could wander at will, hoping for some traffic to photograph. An example is this westbound passing the old station, CN 9424 and two unrecorded sisters, with general freight behind the initial tank cars. Great memories.

Moose Jaw's former Union Station is one impressive structure. Massive, to reflect the glory days of the CPR. It was probably the most prominent building in the city when it was constructed in 1920-1922. The tower, with its four-faced Standard Electric Time Clock, keeps good time, having been fully overhauled in 2003. The station is no longer used by the CP, having seen its last passenger train back in the 1970s. As well, back in the day this was also a CP-SOO transfer location, before SOO became part of the CP empire. Currently inside the building is probably the fanciest liquor outlet I have ever seen, and I've seen a few. The interior has been preserved just like original, plus endless supplies of booze to check out. Just about any you could imagine. Minimum visit: 1 Hour. :o)
In 1999 the this majestic structure was formally recognized as a Heritage Railway Station.

Oh, and out front, after servicing and ready to depart the yard eastbound is probably the most significant of the special tribute Heritage units put out by CP, the 6644 (rebuilt from 9160) which of course commemorates that famous Normandy Invasion of June 6, 1944. Running solo this trip, it appears to be the most traveled of the five military heritage units released.

<b>A nice lashup past the demolished tunnel.</b> CN 529 has a nice lashup consisting of SD70M-2 NS 2764, C40-9 NS 8858 & SD40-2 NS 6137 as it passes the ground up remains of the tunnel that used to cover CN's Montreal sub here.

One could consider this an eclectic collection of born-again relics. M&ET is Modesto & Empire Traction 70 tonner out of California last, having been around since 1947 before coming to the prairies in 2011. ! The CP 5919 is a recent acquisition by the last Mountain RR; having come over from CP in May of 2020. The Mobil Grain 6935 began life as CN 5199 and 3143 as CN 5214. Apparently a good mixture such as this can often be found at Aylesbury. It certainly makes up for the landscape............

CSXT 896 and CSXT 7719 power CN M 32721 24 through Pointe Claire on a quick trip down to Valleyfield, where the train will be handed over to the CSX. If all goes according to plan, this crew will hand over their 63 cars to the CSX crew and bring CN M 32621 24 back to Montreal in a few hours time. On the return movement, 326 was powered by CSXT 5355 and CSXT 4074 with 57 cars in tow.

CN 9300 at the Calder diesel shop in Edmonton, Alberta. I believe this is one of two GP35's that CN had and was originally numbered 4000. Anyhow, on this winter afternoon I had done a quick sweep through the shop area on the way to work and found this unit there. It was dead and drained, whistle and exhaust stack taped and capped, bell missing and obviously not in service. Really don't know the disposition of the 9300 and why it was there. I can't recall if I took an image or two of the old wooden boxcar and tank behind the unit, never know what I might find in a dusty yellow slide box.

A dull June afternoon and a photo op at Greening. Lets see we have a GMDL leading, couple models from MLW and a EMD trailing. This is train #34 from Prince George to Williams Lake. Our symbol is "CV" Cariboo-Vancouver and we have loads and empties that originate in Prince George for various destinations south.
