Extra 1014's 150 photos on Railpictures.ca:

Driving around to see what else I can find, I noticed this SW1200rs parked and shut down. There was a fellow there doing some work on the engineers side and when I asked will he mind if I take a few photos, he was very courteous and said, "go right ahead". Here is the result. Not the best sun angle but I have not taken a switcher photo in years, I'm plenty happy. I waved a big thanks when leaving and he seemed impressed that their Loco had it's picture taken. For some reason this engine makes me think of James Bond. :-) <br> Photo taken @ 13:20.

These 2 old units were shoving a string of tanks towards the rail bridge over the North Sask. river. They never made it, there was already a lineup waiting to get into Walker yard on the other side of the bridge. After about 20 minutes they gave up and headed back to Clover Bar yard. <br>

Caught these 2 headed for Lambton Park. My first time taking pictures of an ECO unit, glad it was nice and sunny. The one thing I have really noticed in the last few days is the amount of tank car traffic. A lot of tanks rolling by. I will mention that I am not sure if this is still the Willingdon Sub. Most of this Sub. has been torn up, it may have been renamed to something else. It ends just east of Bruderheim (Fort Sask.) <br> Photo taken @ 10:40, shot with D810.

While watching CP 2311, I could see that they were switching the yard at Lampton Park. CP 4419 and 4506 were looking after the chores and I managed to get the crew in the photo. All the fellows I saw today were very friendly and waved acknowledgement, both railroads. Makes for a fun day out. It also has been a long time since I have shot this many GP38's in one day, not a GE anywhere, nice. <br> Photo taken @ 11:00, shot with D810.

Here is a photo to go with the number of recent posts lately depicting CN mixing 1st and 2nd generation power. This one I think is a little wacky as the comfort cab is trailing. From personal experience, I know which cab I would sooner be riding in. On the other hand, as a photographer, this is the proper lineup. The numbers of the 2 trailing units are the 9101 and 5605. They have a string of empty sulphur hoppers in tow. <br> Time of photo 8:45.

Just did a quick (not extensive) search on railpictures.ca and did not find any photos of this CN caboose. It is a nice sunny morning and I took advantage of this to bring you an oddity in one of the many industrial parks located between Edmonton and Sherwood Park. It has been up on this blue structure for many years. Not exactly sure of it's total function except, my guess is, they use it as an office during whatever safety training they perform up there. The best part, it's up away from any vandalism, still looks real good for how long it has been riding the sky rail. :-)

The last 3 days I've been pretty lucky with the unit lineups. Except for one instance, they have had a GM leading and the GE's trailing. Works for me, especially with an SD70 up front, I really like how they look. Clouds are in the upcoming forecast, the last several days have been sunny and very warm. Goodbye winter, you overstayed your visit. That's the 2008 trailing, just in case someone can't make out the number. <br> Photo taken at 10:30.

During the winter I scored a like new D90 for a $100 to take rail pictures with. A camera that if it gets subjected to rough treatment, who cares. Here is the the first rail photo I have taken with it. No idea what train this is (CN 5682 & BCOL 4642), it was coming up on Bretville Jct. and will take the wye to head south down the Camrose Sub. One of the top rules of taking train photos, "Don't park your car on the other side of the tracks". Thinking this will be quick and the parking is better on the other side, oops. As you can see I have 2 trains going by at the same time - long wait. There are much better photo spots just south of here with the sun well positioned but to late by time I was back in the car. Next time. :-) <br> Photo taken @ 10:00 April 26th, 2018.

Empty tanks and loaded grain hoppers on their way to Calder yard, Edmonton. An interesting AB set with the B unit, 9102, in a cab forward orientation. A noticeable difference in the shade of red between the 2 cabs also. A little stronger hue of orange in the 9167. One of my favourite picture taking locations with so many pine trees at this grade crossing. Photo taken at approx. approx. 13:00 in the afternoon.

During the first week of August, there was a work train spreading ballast in the Redwater area. After getting home from work and during eating supper, I could here rail activity downtown and went to investigate. The work train crew and section guys had tied up for beans in front of the Redwater Hotel, a favourite of theirs, also just across the street from the tracks. I took the opportunity to take a nose picture that would include the ballast cars, speeder and section building. Paired with the 9161 was the 4603 Fairview still in NAR paint. In another half hour or so the crews will return and finish the last bit of the days work before tying up for the night.

Elephant style with a twist. That's an ex NAR trailing and if they don't wye the units it will be leading for the return trip home. This is a train of tanks headed for the Air Force base at Cold Lake. The orange VW beetle was the official chase car at the time. Picture was taken near mile 36 at approx. 11:00 in the morning.

A gray day in late June of 1984. I did not write down the location of these switchers and my GPS marker is meaningless, a rough guess of the area in Vancouver where they may have been. All I can remember is, it was near downtown and the waterfront. Regardless, what we have is two BN SW9 switchers with flexicoil trucks. Both formerly GN 18 & 17, I believe. One still sporting the big spark arrestors used by the GN. Another feature I find interesting is the unusual shape of the cable jumper plugin, seen over the rear coupler of the 150. Checking other photos of the 150 on the internet, in the past, it was a proud looking engine, with nice angled number boards on the corners of it's nose. Could not find much on the fate of these 2, it would seem the 150 was gone from the roster in Oct. of 85. No info on the 149. One last curiosity, what are the 2 lights above the big rear windows of the 150 about? Class lights? They both have class lights at the front.

Another photo taken by my Dad during our July 1962, summer vacation. Using a magnifying glass on the Kodachrome slide, it can be easily made out that there are 2 CPR Train Masters heading up the string of box cars on this Vancouver bound train. I know I was there at the time these pictures were taken and this photo in particular makes me wish I had been more keen on what drove by. Today, I would really love to hear the sound of the big FM's, as I have no recollection at all in that part of the train experience. Just the several times we would stop along the way to watch the rail action. This spot on the Fraser is about 16km south of Lytton B.C. <br> Way to go Dad, catching them on the bridge. :^)

A photo for those that model the GMD-1 on their layout. Bill Thomson just posted the 1422 from 1990 (formerly the 1076). Looking very fresh from its rebuild. Here it is again in 1988. This is one of the very few roster shots I made of GMD-1's, in this case, I took a photo of the 1076 because of the well weathered appearance. The obvious changes are, paint job, trucks, stacks, fuel tank as well as many others that are less obvious. The one that puts a grin on my face is the rerailer has been moved forward and hung with the narrow end now facing to the front. For better streamlining no doubt :-). This photo shows the grain extra heading home with the 1076, 1073 and 1070 for power. Photo taken at the Mile 23.80 grade crossing, date is middle of April with the time 11:00 approx.
The exhaust stacks and the script used for the numberboards really ups the "wow factor" for these engines. I certainly do miss them.

The aircraft were ever thirsty at CFB Coldlake. Two trains a week would head out with a range of a few to many tanks of fuel. All done by truck now. It is hard to imagine how trucking would be more efficient. Also, in our recent times there may now be a closer source than Edmonton, as oil operations have greatly expanded in the Lloydminster area. Rather early in the year to be getting the trees all frosty, you can see the haze/fog lifting in the sky that produced it. Letting enough sun through though to be able to take a nice photo. The 4607 is soon to stop and the headend brakeman will be out to line the spring switch so they can continue their trip east on the Coronado Sub. Time of this picture, 11:30 at the Kerensky siding.

After watching 836 the jet fuel train (with the 4213 & 4254) meet the grain extra at Radway, I zipped back to Redwater to photo the F-units as they crossed the Redwater river trestle. My only instance of an F-unit with the front door open to let the breeze blow through. It is only 11:30 in the morning and it is already quite hot. The trailing unit is the 9156. Just did a quick check and it seems the old GTW F3 is still in existence but not in running order.

Nothing to significant about this. Pretty much a standard rail photo. For myself though, this picture holds a lot of significance. First time out chasing trains in 25+ years. Amazingly, drove out east of Edmonton and as I arrive at the tracks, a train is coming in the right direction for the angle of the sun. How convenient is that? Then as it approach's, my day is made, a GM is leading, Yay! Sun angle could have been a little better but don't want to stretch my beginners luck to far. Time is 11:15, picture taken with an old D40 and a 50mm lens. It felt pretty good being out there again. :-)

The Friday grain train is running late. It would usually come through town before lunch but on this day it rolled by at 18:30. How very fortunate, as my favourite picture taking spot (as you can see) will have the sun perfectly positioned. Having left Edmonton late, the crew will not have a lot of time when they arrive to down a few pints on a warm Friday evening. Fall time, late afternoon sun and photography, in my opinion, are meant to go together. So many pleasing photos I have seen taken at this time.

Coming home from summer vacation in July of 1983, around 18:00. Stopped in at Jasper and found the 1364 doing little switching chores at the west end of the yard. I am used to the typical gray stacks, not black like these (they seem a little too black for oil spatters). Also, you can see that the top parts of the hood have been swapped around/replaced when in for maintenance. Just enough sun to light up the loco and the mountain to the left. Jasper is a great place to come and train watch, it has rarely let me down.

From my early rail photo days, a time of no notes taken, just snapping pictures. This photo taken at the east end of Field BC in July of 1982, heading home from a family summer vacation. Robot-13 was in a consist of CP5750, CP5972, Robot-13 and CP5530, all of this heading up a large train of empty grain hoppers. They are waiting for a signal indication so the trip to Calgary can commence. A little shady at this spot but I was able to work the scan a bit to bring out the truck details. My only photo of an FM unit (albeit without it's engine) but I sure have always liked the look of FM trucks.
