![CP sent their business train east to Thunder Bay and Schreiber in 2010 to host a week of excursions over the Nipigon and Heron Bay Subs in celebration of their 150th anniversary. Here we capture a special moment as the crew along with a retired CP engineer watch CP 9113 West with train 223-13 take the siding at the east end of Coldwell on the Heron Bay Sub. Once 223 clears the power of the locally dubbed "Superior Flyer" will run around their train, couple up and return to Schreiber.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/DSC_6973-200x150.jpg)

![Framed amongst the crossing and old cantilever ABS signals at the south switch Jardine, ONT 2104 South pauses on top of Highway 640 for a brief moment as the crew couples up to their remaining train. Having finished up their switching moves setting off Noranda bound loads of copper concentrate ex Kidd Creek to the north end of Jardine, they will pull down then back into the siding to clear for a meet with Rouyn-Noranda bound train 211.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/DSC_4292-200x150.jpg)

![Eastbound Vancouver to Toronto intermodal 110-07 arrives at Westfort with CP 8876 - CP 9582 - CP 8553 leading. CP 8876 sports the 2010 Vancouver Olympic paint scheme, one of 20 ES44AC locomotives (CP 8858-8877) painted in this special scheme to commemorate the 2010 Winter Olympics. Soon after the 2010 Olympic flame was extinguished all the units were returned to the current Canadian Pacific block stencil. All except the 8876 which continues to roam the system with the bare white slash on its flanks with the small Canadian Pacific red print remaining. Any trace of the 2010 Vancouver insignia has been painted over. The Current River triple set having hauled two empties from the Richardson's elevator, is seen parked in track A1 while their crew has their lunch in the nearby "Westfort shack". Power was CP GP9u's CP 1633-CP 1571-CP 1694.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/DSC_0475-200x150.jpg)

![It's not a pretty sight at Mile 31.5 Soo Sub. For the old station that dates back to construction of the Algoma Central Railway, the 1902 structure does not appear to have much time left. A blazoned wound cut right across its front, left from when the platform canopy collapsed in 2014. The siding still hints at where the canopy protected passengers from the suns rays. The eaves are disintegrating and the roof has begun to give way. The lower windows have been board up for years while the upper floor windows have been smashed by vandals. A few banners hang on her north and south sides of a promised renewal which seems to have failed. The place still invites whomever or whatever would like to visit its messy, decrepit insides. No doubt an invitation for a quick and easy cleanup....](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/DSC_4380-200x150.jpg)

![Having relocated from St. Thomas to Waterloo earlier in the 2007, the Southern Ontario Locomotive Restoration Society (SOLRS) initially ran excursions between Waterloo and St. Jacobs. The group brings their pride and joy, former Essex Terminal Railway 0-6-0 No. 9 out for special occasions a number of times a year. The Oktoberfest weekend is one of them. In this image the old steamer has some of the locals curiosity at the former Waterloo-St. Jacobs replica station in Waterloo as volunteers prep her for another trip north to the Farmers Market. Number 9 would not be able to make the trip due to a hot journal and would remain in Waterloo. <br>As of 2022 things have changed significantly. While the replica station still stands, installation of double track, catenary lines and a fence for the ION LRT have now forever changed this scene. Waterloo Central is based out of St. Jacobs and runs along CN's Waterloo Spur between Northfield Drive (where the ION branches off the Waterloo Spur's right-of-way) to Elmira.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/DSC_2960-200x150.jpg)

![The northbound Agawa Canyon Tour train rolls through Searchmont, Ontario passing the foregone and dilapidated station. Built in 1902 it's the final station still standing along the line dating from the railroads construction. There had been an organization attempting to restore it but it seems like the attempts have fallen short as information is slim online and their website is no longer active.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/DJI_0009-200x150.jpg)

![Passing the Ontario Northland bunkhouse, freight 313 arrives from Cochrane while off to the side CN 5446 and CN 2508 sit parked awaiting to come on duty later that afternoon. The power from the incoming freight will cut off here and nose onto their waiting train just behind the camera, departing just as quickly as they arrived. One track over sits the ONR yard engine, which will couple onto this inbound traffic and sort out the locals before setting up any outbound traffic for the CN to take south to their main at Oba. With the sale of the former Algoma Central south of Oba and subsequent closure of Hawk Junction, a job has been established in Hearst and as of summer of 2022 runs Monday thru Friday.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/DSC_3732-200x150.jpg)

Above, Ontario Northland freight 516 rolls with GP38-2 1801 leading GP40-2 2201 and a healthy string of cars. The trailing string of hoppers will be dropped at Opasatika (destined for the Agrium Mine south of Opaz Junction) while the headend eight cars will continue through to Kapuskasing where the crew will meet their counterpart ex Cochrane and exchange traffic before returning.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/DSC_0961-200x150.jpg)

![Tipped off there was a work train ordered up ex Hornepayne that morning, my good friend Kyle Stefanovic and I set out of Thunder Bay mid morning bound for Jellicoe- working on a hunch solely based off a train symbol which had been used previously for crews pulling the Kinghorn that could have been used for anything else! There were no guarantees we would see anything other than what was left of the former crew change point in the middle of nowhere Ontario. We arrived shortly after 14:00 to a lifeless scene. The trees barren, the ground brown and dead. It was a warm and beautiful spring day but the colour green was still a month and change away... The three track yard had been removed while the mainline, siding and wye remained intact as well as the boarded up bunkhouse. As we sat in my little '04 Honda Civic trying to figure out an ETA, if in fact they were even destined for the Kinghorn. Knowing the order time, (what we figured the) run time on the Caramat Sub to Longlac Jct was plus the run time to Jellicoe at the lowly speed of 15mph it'd be anytime around the 15:00 hour. As we continued to chat to our amazement there was a chirp over the radio...
<br><br>"Ok ahead 908."
<br><br>Unbelievable! Our excitement could not be contained as our hunch had paid off. The lights of CN SD40-2W 5305 rounded the curve at the east end of the former yard along the mainline. I composed this image of the veteran unit and old GTW caboose 79047 running down the mainline past the abandoned and boarded up bunkhouse.<br><br>The crew setoff GTW 79047 at the west end of the siding, before returning to their train of empty CWR cars left at the east siding switch. The train would be pulled into the siding and left behind as the crew coupled up to the awaiting caboose ahead of them and shove some 40 plus miles west to another waiting CWR train sitting in the middle of the bush west of Orient Bay. We followed to Beardmore where we were forced to break off the chase due to commitments back in town.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/DSC_3988-200x150.jpg)

![Having made a stop prior to occupying the crossing (note the stop sign), the circuit is triggered and the lights are activated for the crossing in downtown Stayner. The conductor can be seen keeping a watchful eye for any eastbound traffic along Highway 26 as the engineer throttles up and blows a "14L". This crossing was unique in the fact the signals were mounted on opposite sides of the road than usually seen (in this case mounted on the northside of the westbound lane but protecting the eastbound traffic and vice versa on the other side)- perhaps the reasoning was something to do with the side streets coming off their respective sides of the crossing? <br>
In about thirteen hundred feet the conductor will be down, trudging through the snow as he works to <a href="http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=6942"> exchange the one loaded hopper in tow for the three empties on spot in the siding for F.S. Partners</a>.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/DSC_7697-200x150.jpg)

![During a circuitous road trip through northern Ontario in 2010, Kyle Stefanovic and myself stumbled across OVR's "The Grimmer". Bound for the Tembec paper mill in Temiscaming, Quebec we decided to find the closest thing to a north-south stretch of track for the best possible light and Birchs Road near Nippising Junction fit the bill. RLK GP38 2002- GEXR GP38AC 3835 and GEXR GP40 4019 head up the train with a healthy mix of slurry tanks, boxcars and chemicals for the mill. Less than a year previous (December 2009) CP had stopped operating their bridge intermodal traffic over the line. Today Genesee and Wyoming operate the last vestiges of the CP North Bay Sub and the branch up the the mill in Temiscaming (as well as the Cartier Sub to Sudbury(Coniston).](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/DSC_9521-200x150.jpg)

Westbound train 441 departs the Lakehead with CP 9011-9023-5925-SOO 4420 powering the short train. Trailing in train are "slugs" CP 1021 and 1002, both Toronto based daughter units headed westbound likely for servicing as the 1002 would show up back in Toronto Yard throughout the early 2010's.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/DSC_4688-200x150.jpg)

![A throwback to when both CP and CN serviced the CAMI auto compound. CP's afternoon Woodstock job is in the process of backing in a string of auto's while the top of CN GP9RM 7025 can be seen in the distance to the left. On December 14, 2009 both CN and CP would disappear from the scene and Ontario Southland would take over the switching contract delivering auto's to CN in Ingersoll and CP in Woodstock. As of 2022 the plant will switch to producing fully electric commercial vehicles which is rumoured not to require rail service. Clarification from anyone is welcome!](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/DSC_9164-200x150.jpg)
