A surprise visitor at the fuel stand on this day was Delaware & Hudson GP38-2 7304. I believe that was the last time I saw a D&H painted unit at Agincourt.

Westbound on the long hill toward Copetown, CN GP38-2 #5533 leads two (unrecorded) GP40-2L widebodies and an SD40, #5038. I've wondered how many units did not sport the "CN" on the nose. The 'lack of' stands out. Photo was taken from by the old station. CN 5533 became 4733 in 1988 and in 1990 was renumbered to 7532 for yard service.

Spanning the North Channel between Goat Island and Manitoulin Island, the former Canadian Pacific Railway Swing Bridge was located at Mile 38.27 Little Current Subdivision. The bridge was opened to rail traffic in October 1913 providing a rail link to Little Current, the western terminus of the Algoma Eastern Railway. In November 1945 modifications to add a vehicular deck for road traffic were completed providing a road link to Manitoulin Island. The bridge was shared by rail and road traffic until the abandonment of the rail line into Little Current. Now known as the Little Current Swing Bridge, it carries a single lane of road traffic and a pedestrian sidewalk. The bridge is a designated Ontario Heritage Property. A new bridge is planned to be built to the west of the existing bridge.

What a great day by 11:06 when my first ever sighting of a CN oil train, I had already seen two eastbound CN trains and one westbound CP from 9:30! This eastbound was highballing up the bank with CN 5701, CN 5681 and BNSF 9016 and a very long train. The two CN locos looked very "tatty" compared with the immaculate BNSF!

A sign of times to come for 4095. The ex-rail America GP 40 must be looking over its shoulder at what’s to come for it and many of its peers. While at Stratford, there were six silent units with six different paint schemes including Genesee & Wyoming, Rail America, GATX, Southern Pacific, 3821 grey over red, and 2236 grey over yellow.

This section of the CN Halton Sub, built as part of the early-mid 60's "Toronto Bypass" skirting the north end of Toronto on the Vaughan Township/North York (Toronto) border, was constructed on a built-up embankment mostly fully grade separated (some roads including Steeles Ave, Airport Road and Torbram Road were originally built as grade crossings, but converted in later years). Back then almost everything surrounding the line was rural farmland, so building the line on an embankment may have seemed like overkill, but it was evidently designed by forward-thinking individuals with future urban sprawl in mind. Today, all that old farmland has since been built up into suburbia. The grade separation is basically unchanged, but the brush has grown in so much that good photos from the ground are difficult to get.<br><br>The 21st century solution? Put a drone in the sky, here capturing CN #435 with ES44DC 2224 and C44-9WL 2517 crossing over Pine Valley Drive on the approach to the <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=52660><b>Humber River bridge</b></a>, not long after departing nearby MacMillan Yard. A dimensional transformer load rides a heavy-duty 8-axle TTX flatcar near the head end. New LED advertising signs have recently been installed on the bridge, original to the line, but the old CN noodle logo and classic green colour CN used on so many bridge structures remains.<br><br>It was a real scorcher out too, making it the perfect afternoon to pilot from nearby shade.

As I creep towards photo #1000 I offer a CN shot since I haven't posted one in a while. Here's Guelph Junction - not the CP one - this is CN - I think it was called "Guelph Junction Wellington". This building has certainly been developed taking the area's name to heart. CN L540 is pictured after working Guelph Twine and coming off what was once the wye to the Fergus subdivision north of town. The motive power was worth a visit, not only is this a non RCLS GP40-2W, 9675 was a former GO unit (#708) and there's a lil green paint coming through the CN (most notably above the Cndr window). Not many photos of 708 leading on this site - here's the only one I could find <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=22407 target=_blank>Here by Peter Newman</a>. What are the main spotting differences between these and regular CN 40's?

A warm, late in the summer sunny day, finds No. 91 on the way north with an extra baggage car added in for good measure. There was not many runs made with the older noodle scheme GP38's. I liked it when these units did lead as, although the cars all look VIA, everything is labelled with a nice CN.

CN Sunday Only Train 71 is near Douglastown en route from Gaspe to Matapedia and Campbellton. At the head end is a ten-wheeler, probably in the 1130 or 1140 series. Bringing up the rear is an ex-Canadian Northern Cafe Parlor car, either Mistaya or Tawatinaw. On weekdays and Saturdays trains 35 and 36 took up to two hours more than 71 (and 72) for the 215 mile trip because of extra stops and considerably more head-end traffic.
