A well loaded CP "Expressway" train rolls past Coakley siding just east of Woodstock on a beautiful day back on May 4, 2004. This is one of only a few of the Expressway trains that I was able to shoot, and by far the most loaded train I saw bound for Detroit. Sadly the service was not efficient enough to last and now all those trucks, and 100's more like it that could have used this service, are on our roads daily....

Looking like a "Blast from the Past", a quartet of non-GE Canadian Pacific units, with CP GP38-2 #3134 on point, lead westbound CP train #235 at Belle River, Ontario. With 2 GP38-2's, a GP20Eco, and a SD30Eco trailing, the consist almost looks like a pure GMDD consist from the 80's and early 90's. The train is holding here, just east of town, waiting on a westbound to take the siding here before continuing west to Windsor and then ultimately Detroit, Michigan.

Feeling like dejavu of CP train #235 yesterday that had CP Military Unit 7021, here's today's 141 with CP 7020 at St. Joachim this morning. Unlike 235, this 141 was haulin' ass today. Thanks to Luke Bellefleur for the Chatham O/S and to Tim Hesketh for giving me a h/u about this. 2 of the 5 units in 2 days. Not bad!!

Canadian Pacific SD70ACU #7021, in it's "Support Our Troops, Army Arid Regions" scheme leads Detroit bound train #235 through the flatlands of Essex County on November 28th just east of St. Joachim, Ontario. These 5 units are a fitting tribute by Canadian Pacific to those that preserve our freedom.

Been a long time since I remember having 5" of snow on the ground on November 12th!! Last time I recall this was about 1984.... That said, I had to go out and at least catch #72 "kick'n it up" as it passes over Belle River on it's way to Toronto this morning in a blanket of snow..... :-)

With no crew aboard CP 6055 east sits quietly in the siding in Belle River, Ontario with train 244 today. Behind is sister SD40-2 #6069, both now on the "endangered species" list for Canadian Pacific. 30 years ago this would have been the 'norm' on the Windsor Sub, and may not have warranted a second glance from me, but with the plethora of GE's that have invaded the CP since then these units have become a rare treat to see with their numbers dwindling quickly.

CP AC4400CWM #8001, former AC44CW #9502, leads a GE sister and GP20Eco westbound at MP 88 of the CP Windsor Subdivision near St. Joachim, Ontario. Gotta love the nice low afternoon light this time of year.

"Keep'n Cool".... Well maybe not, but the crew decided to leave the door open on BNSF 6138 while they were running out to Walkerville to put a CP leader on the head end.

"Back Yard Basics".... A simple shot of CP 5030 east, leading a tattered Union Pacific AC44CW #6468, as it rolls into the siding in Belle River, Ontario to meet westbound train #235. CP 5030 is passing my backyard in this shot, and with the light being as good as it was I felt it was worth the walk over to grab this shot. After waiting about 5 minutes for 235 to clear, and then for 244 to depart, I headed back to my patio to finish my coffee.... :-)

CN 2626 leads train #439 over Belle River late in the day on September 24, 2019. Time is 4:01 pm and normally this would have been a shot of VIA Train #73, but he was running late and following 439 for some reason. I'm glad though as I'd rather catch a freight for a change anyway. :-)

My 6 year old, Matthew, grabs a shot of CP train #140 as it makes it's lift from Windsor Yard on September 21, 2019. Matthew's favorite railroad is CSX, so we just had to get a shot of this train for him. Chip off the old block I guess...... :-)
