About Todd Steinman


I have always loved railfanning. From the age of three - my parents swore I knew where every railway line, railway crossing, or any station was. I was born in Palmerston, Ontario - right beside the old station and rail yard. Although I missed the days of steam, I grew up at the end of what I call the dark period of the railways. Stations were painted in drab, dreary colors - dark colors were also found on locomotive power,etc. However, it does bring me joy in viewing other photos online and remembering how great it was to railfan - especially when I was a kid!I am also happy to share my photos....although my main focus has been of the structures that the railroad companies seem to ignore these days, depsite designation of some. Please enjoy.

Lead engine CN 2277 leads this very log freight over the grade, slowly passing the signals and name signs marking where the old Grafton station once stood. This train carried a surprise with another CN unit mid-train. I had never seen this arrangement before...but was very happy to be ending my day on a high note.

<b> TRICK OR TREAT! </b> Saturday marked the day of Halloween, and I was able to make my way east to visit a friend in Cobourg. Having arrived fairly early, I made my usual stop at the station in Port Hope. No longer than 5 minutes after my arrival, a horn marked the arrival of train 61 led by VIA 6427. I ran to the platform in front of the station to see it fly by on it's way to it's next station stop of Oshawa. Sadly after this train, I missed a westbound CN freight and the eastbound "J" train that was going to Brockville - where it would sever...one train to Ottawa, the other to Montreal. However, this was certainly a treat, to say the least - that started my day of unusual activity of photographing in this area.

Sadly, I recently found out the Thamesville station had been demolished in 2012. My only photo came from my trip there in 2003. Another one bites the dust of time and history.

CN 4116 and 4112 cross John Counter Boulevard and approach the VIA station at Kingston. I was lucky enough to photograph 4116 twice in 2012. Once here at Kingston, and again in September closer to home at Brantford...view it here: <a href="http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/4116-Brantford.jpg">http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/4116-Brantford.jpg</a>

Standing across from William Street on what used to be the Canadian National Newton Subdivision...the Palmerston divisional station and iron foot bridge that once helped pedestrians cross the busy yard now stand still. The station was restored around 1996 - and is now the Palmerston Heritage Railway Museum (well worth the visit). The foot bridge had extensive restoration to it as well around 2010-2011. Lines used to sprawl out with trains carrying passengers to Guelph or Hamilton in the south, to Harriston, Owen Sound and Wiarton to the north, as well as to other places like Durham, Southampton, Listowel and Kincardine. Now the station and bridge sit silent - frozen in time yet well preserved.

These are the weirdest engines I have ever set my eyes on. CEFX 2019 and 2014 lead this long consist of tanker cars bound for the Imperial Oil facility and Ontario Power Generating Station at Nanticoke. I was lucky this day in chasing a local train on the Southern Ontario Railway as it stopped just on the outskirts of the Imperial Oil facility. As I took this photo, the conductor had hopped out to unlock the switch - which they would use on the return trip from OPG to unload some tanker cars off on the storage yard just to the west. However, I still couldn't figure out why this train stopped at the name sign. Approximately half an hour later, a change in crew had arrived and the train proceeded to OPG.

<b> LIGHTS...CAMERA...ACTION!!! </b> At the Market Street crossing, there were plenty of lights halting traffic as this westbound freight rolls around the bend through Paris Junction, mostly hauling auto racks in it's consist.

On this sunny day, I dang near killed myself trying to photograph this surprise. Ex-CN, now RMPX 9431 (now part of the Southern Ontario Railway fleet), pulled a short six car mixed freight south through Hagersville. I first caught glimpse of this freight on 1st Line, pulling out from a gas station. I was so excited when I grabbed my camera, that I forgot to pay attention to traffic and almost veered completely into the opposing lane. After re-composing myself and following this train to the south end of town, I caught both conductors disembarking the locomotive at the County Road 9 crossing. They were preparing to drop the six mixed cars into the siding.

On this early spring evening, I made a stop at one of my favourite locations. Here, westbound VIA train 67 blows by the empty sidings and the restored Grand Trunk stone station in Prescott.

<b> HAPPY CANADA DAY! </b> Lead CN engine 2938 (with CN 2837) pull this large mixed freight eastbound approaching the Railway Street crossing. In the background is Lind Lumber Yard, which has through the years overtaken the old Dorchester station site.

CP 8547 sits on the mainline with two other units waiting for a crew change at the Century Bricks entrance off of Lawrence Road. In the distance, we can see the tail end of another CP freight rumbling through the ex THB Kinnear Yard. It is heading west for what I presume was it's final destination of the Aberdeen Street yard.

The impressive brick station at Strathroy. Still painted in CN colors from mid-70's to early 80's, and unused by the railway since then. Sadly, this station (originally built by the Great Western Railway) was vandalized and as a result, burnt to the ground in 2004.

The parking lot is full, as most of the passengers wait inside for the extremely late Northlander at the Huntsville station. The station was nicely restored, and the town had plans to use it as an intermodal facility (bus, train, etc.).

Sometimes in between trains, you havw to occupy yourself otherwise. Here is an older style CNR lock, on one of the maintenance buildings that used to stand beside the station in Brantford. Had I known it was going to be torn down, I would have tried to have gotten the lock.

<b> PEEKABOO! </b> The crew aboard CN 4116 was just finishing their assignment in the Brantford yard, although the engineer seemed unimpressed as I took his photo.

A.W. Mooney posted a photo not too long ago of the little old flag station known as Dagmar. This station served on the line that was once part of the old CP mainline, originally built by the Ontario and Quebec Railway. Now privately owned. You can find Mr. Mooney's photo which shows the station still used by the CP, by clicking here: <a href="http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=19725">http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=19725</a>
