GEXR 4019 West crosses over to the South track with OVR 431 at Romford to do some work on the service track before heading into Sudbury to interchange with CP. A quick run down of this eclectic lashup: GEXR 4019 (GP40) was built in 1966 as Norfolk Western 1348 and was scrapped stateside sometime during the last couple of years after donating her power plant to rebuild an ONT 2201 (still being rebuilt...). RLK 1800 (SD18M) was built in 1959 as Southern Railway SD24 #6312, spending the 80's and 90's as Chicago North Western #6629 before being purchased by Railink sometime around 2000, meeting the scrappers torch in mid 2013. RLK 4096 was actually built as CN GP40 #4006 in 1966, and continues to work on the OVR today still running around in RailAmerica Red white and blue, looking exactly the same as it did here 5 years ago!

Some unusual visitors to Mac Yard have been snagged in hold status beside the diesel shops. LTEX 2566 and several former Santa Fe GP35u's have been purchased from leaser LTEX by shortline CMQ (new operator of former MMA assets). The units are currently enroute to CAD for overhaul before being eventually sent to CMQ. Taken by a CN employee wearing all required PPE.

UP 5536 South finally hustles out of Midhurst with 420's freight, handling 51 multis on the tail end for Spence along with 38 mixed for Toronto. Spring is quickly setting in across central Ontario, from the warmth in the air, the windows down low, and consists straight out of California running wild!

CP 1159 and CP 6026 sit in the depths of Toronto Yard in March of 2008. CP 1159 was built as SW1200RS 8167 in 1960, and converted to a beltpack yardgoat and renumbered in 2004. 1159 was retired in 2013 and sold a few months later to SLM Recycling where I can only assume it has since been scrapped. CP 6026, delivered in 1982 was also set back to a yard locomotive somewhere around 2005/2006, and has since been retired but not scrapped.

Once a strong, recognizable force of Ontario shortline railroading, the iconic "Railink" logo is hard to come by these days. Units in this paint scheme that are still in service have been repainted or had the Railink logo patched out, but 2 survivors sorta kinda live on in Central Ontario. Just oustide of Barrie CCGX 1755 and CCGX 1808 (both from SOR, a former arm of Railink) sit tied up unserviceable in one of the storage tracks at Barrie Collingwood Railway's small yard in Utopia. Not too far but far enough away from kicking cars in Hamilton, the pair now spend their days at the hands of the elements donating parts to keep BCRY's main locomotive (CCGX 1001) running. As you can tell, the elements have not been kind to the exterior, but the real damage has been done inside the cabs where everything that hasn't been bolted down or secured has been stripped and used. From the electrical cabinets to the control stands, nothing but wires and empty space remain, 1808 has even donated a seat to the CCGX 1001. Considering the shape of 1001's cab, I'd hate to see the seat it replaced.....

CP 8654 South creeps down the main at Baxter with an extra 420, waiting on a better signal/permission from the Honda job into the block behind 112. Today's 2420-25 (2nd 420 of the 25th) has most notably KCS 4864 trailing, fairly fresh from GE, along with 53 cars (46 multis for Spence) following the head end 7 cars it would carry on to Toronto.

CP 9655 South with a fairly fresh coat of paint creeps towards North Yard Switch Spence with train 246 from Sudbury in hand, shortly they will pull into the yard down track 3 to start their switching. I on the other hand, will shortly pull ahead on a soft shoulder and wind up dramatically stuck in a ditch for the next hour! D'oh!

CP 8813 South hustles out of Spence trying to get a run at the grade from Tottenham down to Palgrave, today's 302 has 109 grain loads for Quebec, powered by CP 8813/CP 9611/CSXT 56 on the head end and UP 5557 working 50 cars deep.

CP 8650 South zips through Tottenham with a short 10 car train after setting off 49 cars at Spence, recently renumbered UP 3736 is seen looking sharp bracketed by a pair of dirty GE's CP 8650 and 9633. This is the first chance I've had to get out and play with my new setup, recently stepping up and into the new age with a Nikon D3200 from my old Sony H2 after a decade (and still counting) of faithful service!

CN 4136 sits enjoying her Saturday afternoon off in track HB47 at Huntsville, as some aggressive weather moves in from the North. For years the power for CN 595, based out of Huntsville 5 days a week from Monday to Friday, sat in HB47, provided with the electrical hookups as seen front and center. Since 2009-2010ish the ties have deteriorated under years of locomotive and caboose weight, to the point where the power now ties up infront of the freight shed on track HB61. In the days before highcube boxcars and a busier economy, there once wasn't room for the power to tie up in HB61, and I remember as a child seeing a double set of locomotive/caboose AND a 40 ft boxcar full of fuel/supplies tied up in this track most weekends.

CN 450 - CN 2679 South is under control coming down the bottom of the hill into Bracebridge before finding the perfect moment to let off on the brakes and start to pull, in search for a little push from the tail end to get up the hill out of town towards High Falls. Railroading is an art in of itself sometimes, and this can be a challenging 20 MPH slow through "the bowl" in Bracebridge. Brand new CN 8802 is also notable in this picture, along with a very rare sighting of 2 different Huntsville engines. CN 4110 had come up earlier in the week to fill in for at the time assigned engine CN 4136 while it was in Toronto for servicing. The regular practice was to switch out engines during 595's days off (Sat/Sun), but for whatever reason whenever 4136 was repaired it was immediately sent back before 4110 was done pitch hitting, usually swapped out on the Sunday night. This particular Thursday afternoon 450 was bringing both locomotives back for servicing ahead of the usual Friday lift, earning 595 the Friday off! This was the 2nd and last time I've seen 2 locomotives in yard service based out of Huntsville, a rare shop goof. Much to the surprise of the photographer, this photo recently turned 7 years old, leaving me to wonder how it will feel in another 30 years?

"CN 114 has a clear signal on the home, Arms". Looks like tea is on, and I've got breakfast underway on my desk during a beautiful winter sunrise in Northern Ontario. Taken by a railway employee while wearing all required PPE.

CP 6031 North with train 421-08 from Toronto pulls ahead with 1 loaded centerbeam to set-off in the yard at Utopia for the BCRY in a wet, and blustery scene. Tonight's 421 consists of CP 6031/DME 6370/CP 5943/CP 6608/CP 6601 and 133 cars after setting off here, I'll take it in late 2014!!!

NREX 5665 (nee CP 5665) basks in evening sun outside the HCRY/DESX shops, beside former CN SD40-2W's 5313 and 5311. DESX 5311 is now painted up for a new owner in Alberta, while DESX 5313 faces an uncertain future.

Sometimes luck just isn't in the cards. After a great morning of chasing the Huron Central out to Espanola and not seeing a cloud, the luck ran out as the clouds move in during the last possible second to coat ONT 1733 West in frustrating darkness. ONT 1733 is currently on loan from the ONR as power starved OVR waits to get some units repaired and back from the ONR shops in North Bay.

CP 6072 South stopped on the main in MacTier for a fresh crew to Toronto Yard during a beautiful summer night in 2009. As far as I can tell 6072 and 5991 are still active, while 5944 has since been sent to Mayfield for the ECO-rebuild program.
