CN A439 splits the station signs at Northwood as they head west towards Windsor. An increasingly rare "Blue Devil" was assigned to this run for about 2 weeks giving many opportunities for chasing. A much more common Blue Jay can be seen flying next to the left Northwood sign.

Under the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen, ONR 512 returns to Englehart after working in Rouyn-Noranda, QC. Their train consists of loaded sulfuric acid tanks and empty covered gondolas used for carrying copper "mud".

CP 235 brings a long cut of intermodal through the turnouts at College Ave as they head towards the Detroit River Rail Tunnel, and ultimately to CP's Oak Intermodal Terminal in Detroit. Last year CP removed the turnout and CN's only connection to the tunnel, signifying a definite end to any hopes of them returning service through Windsor South (the interlocking to the far right/background) and the tunnel here. It was already fairly obvious they had no intentions of doing so though.

The 0700 crew rounds the bend near Crawford Ave as they head towards the CP interchange at Tecumseh Road. In the background is a cold storage warehouse, and on the property is an abandoned wooden barn/shed. I'm not sure what it was used for, but it has some nice street art on it dated to 1999.

Due to several circumstances, CN A401 ran later than normal meaning a daylight run north on the Hagersville Sub. Here they are crossing the Grand River in Caledonia.

The 0900 crew pulls out of ADM light as they head back towards Ojibway Yard. There they will assemble their train for the return trip to interchange with CP/CN, and finally their Lincoln Road shops. In the background is Morterm Limited, the parent company of ETR. That facility specializes in transloading between rail, truck, and lake freighters. Also visible is the entrance to the international truck ferry between Windsor and Detroit for trucks carrying hazmat, and other loads that are restricted on the Ambassador Bridge and Windsor/Detroit tunnel.

CP 235 passes the abandoned grain elevator near the village of Louisville. I believe CP had a passing siding here at one point, but it has since been removed along with the rail for the elevator. Most of the code line is still intact in this section of the Windsor Sub giving it that retro look still.

VIA 71 flies past the abandoned elevator at Prairie Siding. This is one of the only grain elevators of this style left in this area. I saw a photo by Bruce Mercer of an NS manifest passing this location in 1987 and I tried to recreate his frame here. Since then, the Chatham Sub has been single tracked in most places, the original Prairie Siding sign has been removed with a defect detector in its place, and the elevator is obviously no longer used. I'd like to submit this for the Time Machine. Here's the link to Bruce's photo http://www.railpictures.ca/upload/knowing-that-sooner-rather-than-later-we-would-be-moving-from-chatham-to-brights-grove-and-ns-would-begin-using-the-new-chatham-east-connector-to-run-between-fargo-and-windsor-south-i-tried-to-sho

One of the last revenue runs on the Cayuga Sub passes over Elliott Rd just west of Tillsonburg. They were on their way to work Future Transfer, the elevator in Courtland (the last time the elevator would be serviced), and a lumber yard between Tillsonburg and Courtland.

ONT 214 screams through the town of Temagami with one of their SD75Is on point. The station to the left was built in 1909 by the Temiskeming and Northern Ontario RR after the previous station burned down. I'm not sure how old the searchlights here are, but they've been out of service since the late 2000s. The crew of this train was amazing. If you look closely you can see the conductor making rowing gestures.

ONT 213 passes over the Driftwood River in the small village of Monteith which is part of the Municipality of Iroquois Falls. Behind the camera is the Monteith Correctional Complex. It was a WW2 POW camp and serves as a medium/maximum security prison today for Northeastern Ontario; so don't trespass here! The road bridge in the foreground has been closed to pedestrian and vehicle traffic for some time making it a bit inconvenient for chasing, but we made it work.

After arriving in Rouyn-Noranda, QC in a downpour, ONT 211 shoves its train of empty acid tanks and loaded copper slurry gons over the diamond with CN's Val-d'Or Subdivision. We believe these are the last operational ONR searchlights left.
