The crew of CP 8919 East gives a wave and a couple 'toots' to my wife and son as they look on from our backyard as the train rolls through Belle River on April 5, 2019.

A late CN Train #380 runs as a caboose hop from Windsor to London with M636 #2334 and C630 #2023 as power back on March 30, 1991. #380 is swinging through the connection track at Fargo, Ontario from the CN CASO Sub to the C&O #2 (Sarnia) Subdivision to makes it's run to Chatham. In Chatham #380 will swing east through the connection and onto the CN Chatham sub to then continue east to London. Miss these days......

VIA F40PH-2 #6402, still sporting it's "40 Years of Service" logo, heads up VIA #73 for March 25, 2019 as VIA F40PH-2 #6413 brings up the tail end in what is apparently now regular practice for VIA running "Push-Pull" on these trains.

CP Train #140 heads out of the Yard in Windsor after making it's setoff and lift. Today's power is CP 9758, which made it's movie debut in Unstoppable as AWVR #767, and CSX 8812, which if former Conrail SD40-2 #6391. Nice to see the old SD40-2's still kicking about here and there, especially when units half their age are being retired and sold off at a record pace.

CP SD60 #6252, former SOO Line 6052, sits at Jefferson Yard in Windsor waiting to be put on the headend of an Eastbound later in the day. Nice to see these still around, but I still preferred them in SOO paint....

CP Train #140 shoves into Windsor Yard today with Trinity Railway Express F59PH #124 dead in train. TRE #124 is on it's way to Montreal for repair. Although the Engineer side of the unit looks pristine, the Conductor side appears to have been involved in a side-swipe as there are door panels missing and the body is heavily damaged.

Dark day.... :-( CP 8885 west, Train #141, has KCS Veteran's unit 4006 in tow as is rolls past MP 90.8 on the CP Windsor Subdivision just west of St. Joachim, Ontario. 4006 is dead-in-tow due to issues that happened on it's trip from Winnipeg to Toronto. I'm sure KCS will be happy to get the unit back after being in Canada since early December 2018!!

With hopes by many that CP Train #141 would have the KCS Veteran's Unit in tow as it made it's way to Windsor, we found out that KCS 4006 didn't make it out of Toronto. Instead #141 came with CP 8751, CP 9705, and BNSF 3861 as power and a long string of brand new NSC BNSF center beam flats.... Not KCS 4006, but it will have to do for today.
