BNSF 4360, NS 7231 & CP 8713 lead train 244 away from Dougall Ave., in Windsor, Ontario on July 21, 2017. Upon arrival, only the BNSF and NS were on the train. Power went to the yard and lifted the CP GE. After departing here, they added CP 5039, CP 6236 to the point, ruining a nice lashup for everyone east of Windsor. Sorry guys....

Hot on the heals of KCS 4803 east, train #244 with Union Pacific 4757 on point, and a sister trailing, pulls away from Dougall Ave., in Windsor, Ontario on July 18, 2017. It was a colorful 30 minutes at Dougall Ave. today. :-)

KCS 4803 leads train #650 away from Dougall Ave., in Windsor, Ontario on July 18, 2017. The KCS unit came over the Border as the trailing unit, but the CP GE had traction motor issues and they swapped the power around to my benefit. Nice to finally catch one of these "Belles" on the point of a train here.

A trio of rebuilt VIA RDC's are front and center at Walkerville (Windsor) Station today as VIA has brought the trio to Windsor as part of the Memorial Cup Tournament being held at the Windsor WFCU Center. The RDC's are being used to shuttle school children from the station to the WFCU to view a display explaining the history and meaning behind the Memorial Cup. In addition they teach the kids about railway safety along the way. Great job by VIA in promoting this. Behind the RDC's is VIA Train #76 getting ready to depart for Toronto at this time.

Three of VIA's rebuilt RDC's, led by RDC4 #6251, roll eastbound at George Ave. in Windsor, Ontario on May 24, 2017. In the background GM's World Headquarters looms in Detroit as a reminder that this is a modern photo and not something take in the 60's when RDC's were still relatively new. As part of the Memorial Cup Tournament hosted in Windsor this year, VIA helped promote the event by shuttling school students to/from the Windsor Station to the WFCU center to enjoy a display explaining the history and meaning behind the Memorial Cup as well as teaching the children about safety around the railroads. Very impressive site seeing a trio like this again.

Looking like a "Blast from the Past" three of VIA's rebuilt RDC's, led by RDC1 #6105, roll past George Ave. in Windsor, Ontario on May 24, 2017. As part of the Memorial Cup Tournament hosted in Windsor this year, VIA helped promote the event by shuttling school students from the Windsor Station to the WFCU center to enjoy a display explaining the history and meaning behind the Memorial Cup as well as teaching the children about safety around the railroads. Very impressive site seeing a trio like this again.

What I think is the first F40PH-2 to arrive in Windsor, Ontario in the "Canada 150" wrap, is VIA #6454. Here 6454 sits beside the station in Windsor waiting to depart on train #76 this afternoon bound again for Toronto.

From my collection this is a 'people' shot of Glencoe Station back on April 10, 1969. Sadly there is no name on the slide to give photo credit for, but whomever the person was that snapped the shot certainly captured a great scene here. Nice clean ROW, the kids standing out waiting on the train, the bicycle parked carefully next to the station, and a set of orders in the hoops waiting to be handed up to the train. I was but a year old when this shot was taken, but it certainly is a reminder of a simpler, maybe better, time.

A couple 'southerners' from CSX are heading up the CSX Pelton Turn as it sits in front of Windsor South Depot waiting for a signal to head back to the U.S. CSX 5732 is a former Seaboard Coast Line U36B while CSX 7062 is a former 'L&N' (under the Family Lines road) C30-7.

Conrail SD60M's #5541 and 5543 stretch their legs on the GMDD test track in London, Ontario back on March 27, 1993. It was always a crap shoot heading to the test track, but it was a ritual if you were going to London for the day. Now it's just a faint memory recorded on film..... Sad.....

VIA 6441 starts to accelerate out of town as it splits the signals at "VIA Lacasse", MP 99.1 VIA Chatham Subdivision, in Tecumseh, Ontario. In the distance the GM World Headquarters building in Detroit, Michigan can be seen looming in the skyline.
