GIO's Tillsonburg job comes to a stop on the west side of Tillsonburg to lift a tank car from storage out of XE85 at right. With its thirteen car train together in a few minutes, the train will depart for St. Thomas. Much of the morning had been spent sorting a cut of around fifty storage cars, departing shortly after noon.

<br><br>Just ahead of the train, an old switch tie can be seen jutting out to the left with an out of service GRS switch circuit controller still in place. This is one of the few remnants of this location once carrying the name "Tillsonburg Junction," where the Cayuga and Burford Subs once joined, <a href=https://ontariorailwaystations.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/tillsonburg-junction-1.jpg>including a station.</a> The Burford Sub would be abandoned from Burford to Tillsonburg North in 1989, leaving the trackage within town intact for a few more years before removal.

Little colour is to be found on this grey spring day. GEXR 582 has cut off from their train in XV yard,and is seen heading for the wye. They will quickly clear the Guelph Sub on the west end of XV yard, allowing VIA 85 to pass while they wait for GEXR 580 to arrive from Kitchener.

CN L584's brakeman gives a thumbs up with coffees in hand and timbits already on board as he prepares to join the rest of the crew in the cab of 4717. With work at the interchange yard, Agrico, and Formet done, the crew can sit back and relax as they roll into the setting sun.

An afternoon snowfall has kicked up in Hamilton, where jobs from both class 1s are seen around the interchange. At right, CN's 0700 job is lifting traffic from CP, along with cars from Stelco, Mana, and Parkland Fuels, while TH11 returns down the Belt Line from Kinnear, bound for Strathearne Yard.

CPKC 734 departs Wolverton after lifting a good amount of traffic. I had expected to be left in the dust by this eastbound, as is common with trains on the Galt once they get going, however with 8700 tons/6,600 feet on the drawbar, and a traction motor cut out, the engineer was struggling to get up to track speed. Passing Galt 12 miles away, the crew confirmed with the RTC they had finally reached 22mph.

Derail is down, and power is lined off the wye as CN L542 pulls down to the south end of XT99 to lift 13 cars for Kitchener. Everywhere on the Guelph Junction Railway is plugged with cars at the moment, and CN arrived with 34 cars today, all for the GJR except for 1 going to West Rock. With all interchange tracks full, including the team track just beyond West Rock, a number of moves took place to spot everything out of the way - as much as it can be - for the GEXR to work with.

Train 169, running Palmerston - Stratford, approaches King Street at the edge of Palmerston. An old CN 'no trespassing' sign still remains at this location today next to the abandoned right of way.

CNR 6060 departs Toronto on its last excursion before retirement and relocation to Alberta. Here, the "bullet-nosed Betty" eases up the Bala Sub just north of the Queen Street overpass <a href=https://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=53417>and the former Don station site.</a>

A quiet Sunday morning in the Royal City, my laundry is in at the local laundromat, and CN L540 has arrived across the street at XV Yard. With their train setoff, the power departing, and having twenty minutes left on the dryer, I may as well follow them just over a mile up to the Guelph Junction Railway interchange.

CNR mixed train M339 arrives at Owen Sound behind H-6-c, 4-6-0 1525, built in 1908 for the Canadian Northern Railway. Despite only having a combine in tow, this equipment was used on a total of six trains in a little under six hours, six days per week over the ten mile long Wiarton Subdivision.

<br><br>Train M340: Owen Sound - Park Head
<br>Train M341: Park Head - Wiarton
<br>Train M336: Wiarton to Parkhead, connecting with train 173 from Hamilton, and 174 from Owen Sound
<br>Train M337: Park Head - Wiarton
<br>Train M338: Wiarton - Park Head
<br>Train M339: Park Head - Owen Sound

<br><br>Filling out the scene is the CNR freight shed, classic automobiles, the Grand Trunk era transload crane, and Owen Sound's large grain elevator, completed in 1925

It's Friday afternoon, and GEXR crews on the Guelph Junction Railway are almost finished their work for the weekend. The crew of 583 has paused their work, setting off cars in the siding at Arkell, to give a roll by inspection to 582.

After a very dry winter in Ontario, an early spring snowfall provided a nice change for photography. In the south end of Barrie, the lone GP9 of the Barrie Collingwood Railway is seen lifting a car from TAG Environmental, which will join another car from Comet Chemical destined for the CPKC at Utopia. The change in the weather had the train slowly following a foreman throughout the day, who was cleaning switches along the line.

Its a busy Monday in St. Thomas where GIO Rail is busy switching out 22 cars in CN's yard, with their traffic today mainly being tanks going into storage at New Sarum and Tilsonburg.

<br><br>Across town, OSR's St. Thomas Job is finishing up their work at Factor Gas and waiting for GIO to finish their lift before they can gain access to the yard. They'll meet GIO at the diamond in a few minutes.
