With downtown Detroit looming in the background we see Essex Terminal SW8 105 and SW14 104 haul 39 cars through the ETR-CP interchange yard, where they will drop a handful of cars from ADM for CP before heading over to CN for interchange. The train consists of two alcohol cars from Hiram Walkers-which were picked up that morning- five gondolas to be interchanged with CN bound for Zalev Bros Scrap and 32 cars from ADM after a morning of switching on Windsor's west side.

Essex Terminal 108 is seen here approaching the CP-ETR interchange yard where they'll drop cars collected from Ojibway yard before heading over to CN's Van de Water yard to interchange with CN and CSX. A lengthy train today at 51 cars, another train from Ojibway was by an hour or so after this with more interchange cars along with boxcars for Fords.

CN 5644 is seen here heading southeast along the CASO with 438's train bound for London, having just crossed through the crossover near Howard Ave. to get onto the south track. The train would then head straight to Essex where the rails curved northeast, nearly pointing straight to Fargo where the line ended and connected with the CSX Sarnia Sub.

The CP Local to St. Thomas is seen here passing through Belmont on his way to switch Messenger Freight, where he'd drop the two boxcars and pull four out. This was just a couple of weeks before the OSR takeover.

Essex Terminal GP9 #108 has 15 loads of whiskey bound for Diageo Distilleries in Amherstburg as the train is about to cross county road 10 just minutes before entering Amherstburg. The day started by collecting interchange cars then heading out to Ojibway yard with a 21 car train. After switching for a couple of hours in Ojibway alongside another yard job, 108 headed south with their 15 cars ready to switch Diageo. Once complete, the crew will head back North to Ojibway, switch local industry and build their train to take to CN and CP for interchange.

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.

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.
