Eric May's 135 photos on Railpictures.ca:

Relatively new F40 6416 leads 5 LRC cars west out of Union Station back when the skyline was relatively uncluttered. In the background a CP SW1200 is pulling some gondolas past the postal delivery building. Back in those simpler times the convention centre had an open air exit corridor along the back of the building you could access to get a decent vantage point. It got closed off a year or two later.

This 0-4-0 was built as a steam dummy by Baldwin in
1879 for the Hamilton & Dundas Street Railway. It ended up working
for the Beck lumber Co. in Penetanguishine. In the Early 2000's it
sat outside at the museum with a carbody covering most of the
engine. At the time of this photo it had been cosmetically restored
and an enclosure was being built. It is now fully walled in.

This caboose has seen better days and was formerly in Tottenham. It sits adjacent to the former CPR Brechin station on the Georgian Bay and Seaboard right of way. It occasionally gets some work on the side facing the parking lot and was getting new siding the last time I went past it in 2015.

High Green at Allandale. The last southbound GO train is about to pass the newly activated signal at the north end of the Barrie yard. The number plate and signs on the signal are still covered.

The last southbound train loads at the Allandale Waterfront station. The partially restored Grand Trunk Allandale station is in the distance. The days are getting shorter, last week this was a night shot.

This trackmobile and what appears to be some components from their bridge replacement unit were hiding behind Western Mechanical's plant. This spur was built in 2005 to serve a composite lumber plant that only lasted a couple of years. I didn't think the spur was in use.

The Lakefield station in its second life as a bookstore. This station had a cameo in the 1977 movie Ragtime Summer. The film was later renamed Age of Innocence. The scene featured a gas-electric doodlebug arriving at the the station. In those pre-internet days we had no idea this was going on!

In need of some tlc, former CP coach 1431 and sleeper "Hungerford" await redevelopment at Port McNicoll. The cars were formerly part of the Ossawippi Express restaurant in Orillia. Photo taken from the Deck of the former CPR ship SS Keewatin.

The Canadian departs West Toronto. Photo taken by my Brother from the overhead crane. Back in those days you could pretty much wander anywhere.

CP's one and only M640 4744 leads five big alcos on an eastbound freight. One of those shots you kick yourself for. My Brother skipped classes to to spend an afternoon at Port Hope. I stayed in class and never saw the M640 until it was donated to Exporail.

Four SD-40-2's spliced by GP-9 8663 have just crested the continental divide. Construction of the railway caused the creek here to have its path divided, hence the name Divide Creek. Half of the flow goes west towards the Pacific, the other half goes east. If you would like to change the world, you can take some water from one side and put it on the other.
