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.

CP 5674 North pulling into the yard at South Yard Switch MacTier with CP 5674/CP 5764/CP 5811/STLH 8212 and CP 5721 in charge of train 435 from Toronto to Thunder Bay. While 5674 and 5811 have since been scrapped, 5764 is still on the active roster after a repaint to the candy apple scheme, STLH 8212 was renumbered to CP 8212 within a few months of this picture in 2007, 5721 was sold to the Lehigh Railway and still earns a living as LRWY 5721.

CP 4107 South with business train 40B-13 from Calgary to Toronto and eventually onto London to represent CP's support of the Womens Open event in London, ON (www.cpwomensopen.com). This train was expected to arrive in Toronto at 02:00 Saturday morning, most people including myself had pretty much written it off as "maybe on it's way back". For the connected few however, word traveled the train jumped ahead about 8 hours, making a perfect sunny afternoon appearance!

CP 9504 South tied down in what used to be known as track 2 infront of Station Name Sign MacTier, but as you can see since the Maple Street cut-over track 1 just kind of ends! 118 would stage here to let business move 40B-13 by on the main without interruption, trailing SD40-2F 9004 seems to be in much better shape than newer AC4400CW 9504!

CN 271 - CN 5430 West seen at Powerline Road approaching Brantford not far behind 393. In 2007 I remember being disappointed every time I'd see an SD50F come into view, in 2014 I would much rather shoot another SD50F leading than the SD60's that now dawn the 5400 slot on the roster!

CP U50-16 (Sudbury #2 roadswitcher) with CP 5863 and CP 5905 scoots underneath CN's Sudbury spur heading back to the yard in Sudbury light power. CP 5863 is one of only 2 remaining active units to wear the full multi-mark, with 5863 assigned to Winnipeg yard, and 5911 currently at Alyth but still active as far as I can tell.

VIA #2 - VIA 6405 South seen several hours late highballing through Dock Siding trying to make up some lost time racing down 130 more miles to Union Station. This would be one of the last times I shot an original 6400 in gray/yellow paint before they were all rebuilt. I am definitely a bigger fan of this look compared to the rebuilt look that 6458 is sporting behind 6405!

A.W. Mooney's shot from a beautiful looking summer day in June of '86 had me feeling nostalgic of spending plenty of Saturdays hanging around MacTier station with my late Father. Digging through the crates I found some more shots from the wicked storm of '09 (also seen in http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=1052 and http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=1051), that saw 115 + CM of fresh snow unloaded across Central Ontario from a storm that stalled out and hovered overhead for 4 days! CP 5939 is seen here under the yard lights buried in track 1 @ MacTier after the storm had passed but still stranded. If memory serves, this train would spend the better part of 3 days stuck here before leaving...
