In reality photography is about one thing - "f/8 and be there". Of all the moments you capture, what did you enjoy the most and were you satisfied with the outcome? This is one of mine. I drove straight here without consultation of anyone after taking some time off work to get this and I was not alone - 11 people were on the low perch of dirt at Desjardins and 1 with me on the high mound for a drone-like view (without the drone). We all had the same idea. Capturing the best train in the best location requires only one thing.

As 836 arrives in Redwater to switch the culvert plant, first up on the train is an unusual car in the form of C.R.C.S. 2. The initials are for Colonist Railcar Society. From the 1987 CTG, this sleeper came from the CPR (named Tracy) and was built in 1931. A quick look turned up that at one time, it seems, there was an effort to restore some of these colonist cars. Not exactly sure what happened over the next several years from this date to #2. There is a photo of it from 2011 at Stettler Alberta on the Alberta Prairie Railway, in CNR green, black and gold, but, wearing it's old CPR name Tracy. A very nice combination. In this photo, the units have picked up the empty gon at the culvert plant and are now pulling the train towards Redwater. Going to Redwater was all #2 got for an outing. The crew parked her in the siding and when returning at lunch the next day from eastern Alberta, the sleeper was taken back to Edmonton.

Three units on the headend of a loaded coal train at Teck waiting for crew to take south to Prince George. Quite evident that the 6006 had encountered some snow along the way. Trailing units 6003 & 6004. It was a bright sunny afternoon in Tumbler Ridge area and I went out for a drive and pictures.

Awh!!! The Good Old Days already....for me. I used to love seeing stuff like this.... CP exercising their trackage rights over the CN Oakville back then. Not only did it make for more traffic as seen from the 'railfans walkbridge', it made for some interesting head end power combinations as well. CP 8206, 4229, 8226, 8237, 8211 and 1624. All units now off the CP roster. Interesting to note that the trailing unit was sold to Aspen Crossing Railway (Alberta) in 2015 and is still active there; as shown in a photo posted on RP a couple of days ago.

The eastbound "Super Continental" zips into west Edmonton, looking very similar to the "Canadian" that ran through Calgary on CP's tracks at that time.

<i>Two Pups and a Rocket on the main:</i> CP Rail SW1200RS 8156 and a sister "Pup" team up with an 8000-series RS23 "Rocket" on a westbound extra freight (possibly the London Pickup) rolling over the North Toronto Sub on a gloomy day. The train has just crossed Davenport diamond in the background, and is heading through Osler to hit the West Toronto diamonds before entering the Galt Sub. A dimensional load is visible near the head end: a flatcar hauling an off-highway mining truck dump bed (that appears to be in Terex or Euclid colours).<br><br>In the foreground is the CP "S-Lead" to the old <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=38483><b>TG&B Bruce service track</b></a>, that curved south and ran down the east side of the rail corridor parallel to the CN Weston and CP Galt Subs to serve a handful of local industries.<br><br><i>J.W.

CN 331 struggles westward towards London after completing its work at Paris. As per other comments on here, CN 8014 was having trouble. The crew kept turning their headlights on and off.

Companies along this road have come and gone so frequently it has been hard for me to keep track of them all. I recall Stelpipe the most; at this location on 615 Rusholme Rd in Welland that utilized a switcher is conveniently numbered '615'. This was the former Stelco 53, an 80 tonner that has also worked for Martech at this same location. I'm guessing it was around 2008 that Universal Resource Recovery set up shop here, and existed until June 2011 when they voluntarily closed up. URR was a"green bin" waste recovery outfit that was taking waste from landfills and recycling it. It was an indoor composting operation. Decent idea for the times. But oh, the stink!!! Neighbours complained aggressively; filed their complaints over the fact they could not endure sitting outside their homes most days, especially hot ones......and the situation went to court. However, a $250,000 fine was not leveled until almost 2 years after the company had folded up and left. Now what?
This same locomotive toiled for Martech Industrial when it took over the location to do railcar repairs; and is still on site for current tenant K&K demolition company which is scrapping old CN locomotives. However, this is the only time I recall seeing the switcher with that Universal decal on the sides......as seen here out by Hwy 140.

CN 2344 is eastbound, leading train M306 along the scenic Lac Baker, about 24 miles north west of Edmundston, New Brunswick. Unfortunately, I was probably a week or two early to get the Fall colors in full force, but they still look alright.

Southern Railways Shops Job sits awaiting a new crew, as a Skytrain streaks by above. Once on duty, the crew will to take the train and head back towards Surrey Fraser Docks where customers like Catalyst await box cars that will be loaded with paper products. At the other end of the train a caboose will be used as a riding platform for one of the crew to spot unprotected crossings.
