After shooting CN 373 with a CSX leader, I decided to head down to Snider South to get CN 541 and see what it has on it. It had 2 long-hood forward GP9RM's, which you don't see everyday.

After getting a timely heads up from Railpictures.ca contributor Michael Delic, that CN 373 has finished working Oshawa yard and is on the move, I immediately packed up and headed trackside. As I got there, this train was already lined, and about 20 minutes later it showed up. This is a very rare occurrence to have FPON lead on CN in Ontario as locomotives from the USA don't have a refrigerator and a stove that CN units have, so now they always slap a CN unit in the lead if they can. The morning light made this train impossible to shoot in perfect light so I guess I can take what I have.

A one of a kind class leader for train 112... IC 1000 leads CN 112 around the corner and almost at its destination at Brampton Intermodal Terminal on its long, several day journey from British Columbia. At the end is CN 2309 shoving, so 1000 isn't doing all the work by itself.

The last train of the day, CN 303 heads through the small town of Parry Sound, ON. The Canadian Pacific trestle, built in the early 1900's, stretches over 1,000 feet long and can be seen from most areas of Parry Sound. This particular photo is taken from the dock where the lighting is perfect in the evenings for the northbounds.

I've always wanted to shoot at the large trestle in Parry Sound for about a year now, and my wish finally came true. After visiting for a little vacation in Hunstville I took the car trip to Parry Sound for the day and shot 3 trains at the trestle and 1 at Rosseau Road, not much but more then I was expecting.

As I finish school this year, I get a timely notification that CN 149 has cleared Whitby on the Kingston subdivision with 2 CSX's trailing. I grab a quick snack and set out and wait a bit, and soon enough 149 comes rolling by! Thanks goes the people for the heads up, you know who you are!

After coming home from this mornings FPON on CN U710 (The next photo is of it) and having a quick lunch, I get another email about 149 going by Wesleyville with 2 BNSF's in trail. I decide to miss it as it will probably work Oshawa for some time, but in about 20 minutes, I get another email that it has passed Liverpool at 13:55. I quickly set out to Hilda to go get it, unfortunately, the sunlight wasn't on my side but nonetheless. This was my first time seeing a "white" BNSF.

Thanks goes to a few people for the heads up, you know who you are. CN 710 with a lashup you don't see everyday, a SD60F, a SD60, and a BNSF! Just before it was high sun, CN 710 comes rolling by.

A westbound VIA train quickly diverges from the Oakville to the Dundas subdivision, just about 2 minutes after CN 330 diverged from the Dundas to the Grimsby subdivision. As I hear it coming i quickly pull out my camera and get a decent "around the bend" shot just in time.

CN train 435 slowly rumbles past the 20th annual meet-up at the Bayview Jct pedestrian bridge with a BCOL cowl in the trail. The perfect light gave me an opportunity to get this neat composition with my 8mm lens, the pedestrian bridge being to the right and the train to the left.

On the last day of May, I had the opportunity to go to Hilda and I did. As the lighting was perfect for it, I decided to try out a new composition I don't think anyone has done before, with the tree branches in the way out of focus and the train in between them. I have to say it turned out pretty nicely with the exceptional leader and perfect light. Thanks for the S&HC to the crew!

CN 435 slowly approaches CN Snake where its conductor hops on board from Aldershot yard (distance). This train then quickly gets rolling and diverges onto the Dundas subdivision at Bayview junction and continues its journey.

On a very hot and sunny day in May, a westbound Canadian National train with a one of a kind lash-up goes by Hilda. At the last position, is CCGX 1004 showing CANDO on the side in black paint, which is a yard switcher. Any info on that would be appreciated.

VIA Rail racing GO Transit.... on 2 different subdivisions! Here we see 2 Eastbound passenger trains "racing". The VIA Rail is on the CN Kingston subdivision and the GO Transit is on the GO GO subdivision. Since the Lakeshore East Line is one of the most heavily used by GO Transit, they decided to build their own subdivisions right next to CN's. Anyone notice the difference in ballast?

The "Kawartha Lakes Railway" or "The Havelock" sits at Havelock yard waiting for a crew to come and depart towards Toronto with a restriction of 15 mp/h due to bad track conditions. A low down rail shot with a small reflection can be seen here at Havelock yard.
