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.

CP's now extinct "Expressway" used to run not only Toronto-Montreal, but also Detroit-Toronto. Here we have the Toronto-Detroit train nearing Windsor as it passes the old "Ruggabers" mill in Elmstead back on October 20, 2000. As you can see by how few trailers are on the train, this segment was bound to die as it can't compete had to compete against the mighty 401.....

CP SD40-2 #5624 leads a SOO Line SD60 into the Walkerville siding on the CP Windsor Subdivision. The signal in the distance governs all eastbound movements as Begin/End CTC Walkerville.

CPRS #5688 leads a trio of freshly repainted CP Rail System SD40-2's as they sit tied down in the siding in Tilbury, Ontario. This trio had been running east out of Toronto apparently for photo ops to promote the new CP Rail Systems brand that we came to refer to a "C colon P" because of the way it looked on the noses of the standard cab GMDD units.

CP 5863, one of CP's last few large multimark scheme units left at the time, leads a train dubbed "Q-ARM" by the lineup, near Fire Hill, Ontario back on March 15, 2005. This train is moving a large Canadian Forces Unit to BC for training, but as you can see by the picture, CP decided to add in a large cut of empty grain hoppers ahead of the Military equipment as part of the move paid for by our Canadian Tax dollars.

Seeing Red..... CP SD40 #5562 leads a candy apple red SOO SD40-2 #6616, and a sister CP SD40-2 at Dougal Ave in Windsor, Ontario. It's October 17, 1992 and after a new crew boards the train they'll get rolling and highball east out of town.

26 years ago CP train #503 rolls through Chatham Yard on October 17, 1992 with SOO Line SD40 #6409 at the helm. Trailing is former Norfolk Southern Hi-Hood SD40-2 #3245, while a "Big M" brings up the rear. Never a dull moment on the Windsor Sub back in the day.

It's Saturday April 29, 1989 and we see nothing but Multi-Marks sitting in Windsor Yard today. Two sets of power on the ready track with CP 5684 leading SW1200RSu #8138, which is likely to be setoff in Chatham, and two C424m's as one set, and a second set with CP 5565 and another C424m at the ready. Sure is different to look at this picture compared to what is there today, but we are talking 29 years ago!!
