After spending a couple hours working the transfer to CN, the crew of 2697 are now backing their train into Sarnia yard where they will leave it for the afternoon yard job to pick apart. At the time, this was the last CSX unit in Ontario in the YN2 'bright future' paint scheme.

CN 5642 has 23 cars in tow as he crawls down the CASO at tenth line, a few minutes before diverging off the CASO and onto the former CSX Sarnia Sub. This line was up for abandonment at this time and would ultimately be abandoned in May 2011.

After departing Ojibway Yard less than an hour prior, Essex Terminal SW14 #104 has arrived at Amherstburg and is now shoving its train into the Honeywell complex where the crew will switch around for an hour or so before returning to Ojibway to the north in Windsor. Honeywell was idled in the summer of 2014 and as a result, trains to Amherstburg have been diminished significantly with Diageo Distilleries being the sole customer remaining.

LDS 0179 switches tank cars in the CF Industries (former Terra Chemical) yard north of Sombra. This facility used to be switched by both CSX and CN but today freight is handled exclusively by CN, although CSX did bring in a handful of steel loads on flatbeds last year. Taken on private property with permission.

CP 422 is seen here heading out of Windsor at Banwell Rd. bound for Toronto behind five SD40-2's (the third unit is CITX 3072 the former Alstom demo unit). At the time there were two trains a day out of Windsor Yard for Toronto and latchups like this on 422/423 were common.

The Essex Terminal is a railway that hasn't had had vast amounts of coverage on this site, so I thought I'd add to the catalogue. Seen here is ETR 105 pulling 9 tank cars south towards Amherstburg, roughly 15 km south of Windsor. Their destination is about 5 km south of here along Thomas Road, where they will shove their train into the former General Chemical property to reach Honeywell, who manufactured hydrofluoric acid. The crew will drop the last 6 cars at Honeywell then take the first 3 tankers-full of Crown Royal Whiskey from Gimli Manitoba-to Diageo at the southern most point of the railway.

Today Honeywell is closed, shuttering operations in 2013, and this local has been reduced from a daily run to 1-3 trips per week. The ETR has lost a ton of freight over the past 10 years, losing 4 of their largest customers since 2006. There were 5 customers in Amherstburg 10 years ago, now only 1 remains.

CSx local D924 is seen here switching the large elevator in town. Today the local brought in 35 cars, dropped most off here after switching for several hours then ran to Dresden to turn back east to drop 6 cars and lift 2 at Tupperville then dropped a single hopper at another siding in Wallaceburg before continuing back to Sarnia with 3 cars. Such a fascinating operation this was.

A westbound CN mixed freight snakes along the Fraser River in B.C.'s interior bound for Vancouver. CN and CP both have mainlines through this area (this train is on CN, while the CP rails can be seen on the opposite side of the river) with a trackage agreement that allows directional running for 160 miles through the Fraser Canyon-the CN line handles westbound traffic, and the CP line handles eastbound traffic.

NREX 8092 (ex. BN 8092), HLCX 6206 (ex. BCOL 738) and SOO 6037 are about to lift 2 CP SD40-2's out of Walkerville Yard before heading east with a long train. These leasers are gone, but the SOO SD60 is still active in SOO colours as of Aug 2015.

On Sept 25 2013, CSX ran it's last train between Tupperville and Dresden to drop the final car to be loaded at the LAC elevator in Tupperville. The crew stopped for lunch at the dispatchers office just out of frame to the left before crossing the Sydenham River and proceeding onto Dresden to run around their train so they could switch Tupperville. 8 days later and all rail movements on this line south of Sombra would come to an end.
The municipality of Chatham-Kent took control of the line on October 4 2013, at the same time they sold the infrastructure to CP- who threatened to remove the rails if an operator wasn't found. CK however has recently taken full possession of these rails by buying them back from CP, securing the future of this line for at least a little while. A buyer/ operator is still being pursued to resume railway operations.

The rail train in charge of removing rail from the CASO sub between Essex and Fargo is seen here chillin in Tilbury after a long days work. The next morning the train would pull past here and crews would continue dismantling the line. Within 24 hours of this photo these rails would be gone and another days work would be complete.

Hump power sits near the Alyth shop awaiting their next call to duty. The SOO 6617 at the time was the last active SOO SD40-2 on the CP roster, and since the hump yard hard has been idled, this power may of also suffered the same fate.

CN 4777 has 40 empty racks in tow as he heads for a loading facility near Jefferosn Ave. and The E.C. Row. CN has recently picked up the switching contract for Chrysler from CP and this is one of many daily locals out of Van de Water Yard that will traverse the City with auto Traffic for Chrysler.

A late running freight out of Van de Water is seen here at the present day location where the rails end, however this day the train will continue another 48 track miles to Fargo to connect to the CSX Sarnia Sub. I remember having this day off of school and work and contemplating chasing this train through the county, but instead went and chased the ETR around Windsor.
Today the ETR is still doing the same thing and the CASO is a gravel path slowly being reclaimed by nature.
