Recently, fairly new railway Central Maine and Quebec purchased 10 SD40-2F's from CP, and after months of storage awaiting their fate, a few of these uniquely Canadian locomotives have been spared from a rebuild program that would have seen them lose their "draper taper" look and blend in with the rest of CP's SD30C-ECO's. Loathed by crews, but appreciated by most that follow the CPR, catching 9014 on home turf for the last time is certainly a bittersweet moment after years of considering these iconic locomotives notable, but common along the MacTier sub.

CP 420 hustles through Essa headed for the siding at Baxter to wait on 247 to finish at Spence and go by. Today's 420 has CP 8547, KCS 3922 and CMQ 9014 with 78 cars, including 31 on the tail end for Spence. CMQ 9014 is one of 10 former CP SD40-2F's that have been sold to the Central Maine and Quebec Railway, and rounds out this unique consist quite nicely!

CP 8777 South sits in the siding at Baxter for the 3rd hour and counting as 421 deals with some power issues in the yard at Spence that effectively shut down the mainline for the better part of 4 hours. Fortunately enough 420 was the only train in the area and has already made their tail end setoff for Spence in the former siding now storage track known as Ypres. Eventually 421 would get back underway and let these guys into the yard at Spence for a quick lift before heading into Toronto later that night, in the foreground is about as close to a shot of a Red Barn you can get on CP in 2015!

After quite a bit of delay at Spence waiting for 421 and Honda 3 to make some moves that had the South end blocked onto the mainline, CP 5866 South is back on the move cleared all the way down to Begin/End CTC Sign Bolton. This year's fall colours have been terrible, so far, luckily KCS 4857 provides a nice splash of red and yellow I was hoping for!

CP 420 hustles through Essa with CP 5866, KCS 4857 and CP 8897 ahead of 57 cars (39 mixed/18 multis). Due to a 2 hour delay in MacTier, today's 420 has been informed they'll be skipping their work at Spence and heading straight for Toronto, but not before losing about another hour and a half at Spence for a bad meet with 421/Honda 3 while they had the South end of Spence blocked with 421's tail end setoff!

A very nostalgic 421 pulls ahead at North Yard Switch Spence after arriving with only 17 cars, the original plan was to lift 247's train, power and all out of track 3 then double back onto their train in track 2 and depart for MacTier/Sudbury. Things fell apart quickly as the power they were lifting from 247 couldn't pass the brake test failing to release. After some extensive troubleshooting the decision was made 3 hours later to cut and run with the original power/train, after cutting away from 247's power they had their own issues releasing brakes! The train would eventually depart Spence that night after 4 or 5 hours of delay with CP 6254/CP 5833/CP 5943/CP 5866/CP 3038/CP 3021 and 17 cars towards a recrew near Bala.

CP 420 blasts through Essa with CP 8572/CP 5765/DME 6089 (originally CP 5533) and 85 cars, including 24 on the tail end for Spence. Just ahead they'll lose about an hour in the siding at Baxter waiting for counterpart 421 to finish his work at Spence before they can get their turn into the yard.

CP 421 stretching ahead while setting off and lifting cars at CP's busy Spence yard, just outside of Alliston's busy Honda plant. After about an hour of work, 421 would depart towards Baxter for a headlight meet with counterpart 420, with CP 8741/UP 5511/CP 5749/CP 3079 on the point of 62 cars.

CP 8848 South is finally done their work at Spence, and is seen cruising through Tottenham overtop of the South Simcoe Railway moments before the sun bows below the treeline. Anybody know a good arborist?!

CP 420-08 flies through the curve out of Midhurst with quite the consist, in the form of CP 8848/NS 9814/CP 8723/CP 5792/SOO 6061/CP 3085. I'd consider SOO 6061 to be the most notable here (being the last unrebuilt SOO SD60M), but between the foreign power and old EMD classics it's hard to pick favorites!

CP 6048 South creeps up to the North Yard Switch Spence to line themselves into the yard, pick up some paperwork at the yard office then tuck in the clear so 118 can go by on the main as they set off their 2 tail end cars. Go out and get your shots of these iconic SD40-2's while you still can folks, scenes like this will be but a fond memory all too soon!

CP 6048 South highballs through Medonte in a scene that could easily be mistaken for something from 2001! Today's 420 is basically a glorified roadswitcher, running at only 16 cars/1200 ft after setting off most of the train at Sudbury/MacTier, and the 2 tail end cars are coming off at Spence! I don't think 6048/5905/8631 and 6017 will have any trouble handling 14 cars into Toronto!

CN 450 - CN 2606 South lugging along just South of Huntsville after lifting 9 cars from track HB61. After today's muggy 31 degree meltdown, it's almost nice to look back on a cool March evening! Almost...

CP 8876 South blasts by South Yard Switch Spence cleared all the way to Begin/End CTC sign Bolton with the help of veteran SD40-2 #6011 and 120 platforms in tow. Interesting CP consists are still out there, you just have to know where and how to look!

CP 9735 South is back on the move and departing the siding at Baxter after setting off the tail end 45 cars to the old siding (now storage track) known as Ypres. They used the siding for head room, and once the setoff was made and everything restored behind them, they pulled into the clear to re-arm their tail end and walk up so 421 was able to depart on the main. Train together and clearance to Bolton in hand, this little 1200 foot rocket is outta here, headin' home!

With 420 in the clear ahead, 421 starts to creep up to the light at Baxter. As soon as the light pops up, they'll drop the hammer and CP 8896, CEFX 1034 and CP 5866 will have 421's freight back up to speed heading for the siding at Craighurst for a bad meet with a 118. Not surprisingly, the old SD40-2 in 5866 sounded the loudest and the best!

CP 6077 South sits under the lights in the heart of MacTier waiting for a fresh crew to Toronto, just after 21:00 on a bitter cold December night in 2007. Very shortly the Toronto crew will settle in and depart Southwards with the "steel train" from Sudbury to Hamilton.
