Empty Grain Train, CP 341-008, departs CP's Windsor Yard eastbound for Walkerville with BNSF 5483 on point. Once at Walkerville the power will run around the train and lead to the U.S. with CEFX 1059 on the point. Nice to catch this guy with the BNSF on the point in nice light.

Unlike 2018, on December 21, 1991 it was cold and there was plenty of snow!!! With the steam generator helping keep the passengers warm on this cold day, VIA 6428 leads the way as it approaches the Sass Sideroad just east of Chatham, Ontario.

Would this qualify as a "Stellar" shot having the moon overlooking VIA 918, in it's 40th Anniversary Scheme, as it speeds across the Chatham Subdivision and through Belle River? Last seconds of light look nice on the train, but with #73 being about 15 minutes late here, it really did hurt this shot a bit.

VIA F40PH-3 #6406 leads a 10 minute late Train #73 through Stoney Pointe, Ontario an into some low start of Winter sunlight. Even the green units look good when the light hits them right.

CP's Holiday train is running a little behind as it approaches the Rochester Town Line, just east of St. Joachim, Ontario on December 1, 2018. The sun had just ducked behind the clouds so that you can see the lights on the train. Looked good, and my kids loved seeing it again this year.

Work Extra CP 6254 West lays rail along the Windsor Subdivision just west of Haycroft, Ontario on September 28, 2018. Nice to be able to shoot a CP SD60, SD60M, and a "Red Barn" all in the same shot in 2018.... ;-)

Big power on the CASO for September 18, 2018. CN 438 is going to rate 4 big 6 axle units, including NS 9235, to move it's train from Windsor to London this evening. Part of the consist came in on a Soya bean train for the ETR on Sunday, September 16th. With the train now unloaded and the cars (110) returned from the ETR, we're likely to see a 150+/- train heading out on the CASO then up the old C&O, and eventually to the VIA Chatham Subdivision. Wish it was like this all the time like it used to be back in the day............ Only with better power... :-)

A pair of SD50F's lead CN Train #380 past the "East Siding Switch Comber" on the CASO Subdivision back on February 27, 2004. Sadly the tracks are now all gone, as well as the units. I guess nothing lasts forever.....

VIA 6411 hustles train #73 across the Belle River bridge in Belle River, Ontario while two kayakers, who are probably trying to stay cool on this 34C day, head slowly upstream oblivious to what is going on behind them.
