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.

The Welland Yard Job #1 has pulled a single hopper from Saint Gobain at the end of the Chippawa spur and will shove back to Niagara Falls to complete their switching for the day. Seeing one of the last CP GP9's sure was a treat.

CP 8223 is seen here picking up a single hopper from the Saint Gobain Ceramics plant in the community of Chippawa, just south of Niagara Falls on former Michigan Central trackage. Seeing that this industry only receives a handful of cars per month, it was a delighted catch, but the rarity of having a single GP9 made the moment even sweeter.

CN 1444 leads today's 438 at a sluggish speed of 10 mph through Maidstone on the now abandoned CASO. A fresh snowfall the night before made for nice photo conditions during this chase.

Sitting in the east end of the Walkerville siding, this loaded petroleum train sits quietly with all motors off waiting for a crew to take the 80 or so cars east for refining.
