By the beginning of 1996, both CN and CP had completed the deliveries of their latest motive power. CN’s order of SD70I’s (5600-5625) and CP’s order of AC4400CW’s (9500-9582) had assisted both railways with easing some of their previous motive power constraints. While summer prior, CP had officially retired their last big MLW’s, they still had an active roster of RS18u’s and C-424’s operating in Ontario and Quebec. As well, despite the addition of the 83 new AC4400CW’s, the railway continued to lease hundreds of units through various companies, mainly Helm Leasing. CN continued to roster a small number of operating M-636’s, plus had their HR-616’s, M-420(W)’s and HR-412(W)’s working mainly in Ontario to eastern Canada. However, the company’s next big order was due to start arriving that summer, in the form of 105 new SD75I’s from GMDD in London, starting at CN 5626. Additionally, the start of the Canadian shortline takeover of CN and CP’s unwanted secondary lines and branchlines was still over a year away. Although, many had already fallen or were in the process of being abandoned. Two local examples were the CP Owen Subdivision from Orangeville to Owen Sound and the CN Newton Subdivision from Stratford to Palmerston, as well as the remainder of the CN Owen Sound Subdivision to Harriston. <br> Here, the Goderich-Exeter Railway (GEXR) takeover of the CN Guelph Subdivision was just under two years away as CN GP9RM 4101 leads one boxcar through downtown Waterloo on the Waterloo Spur. The 15:30 Kitchener Job was taking the car to Commonwealth Plywood in north Waterloo and would then return light power back to the Kitchener Yard.

During afternoon snow squalls, the previous night’s CN L566 is viewed timed-out at Randall Drive in north Waterloo, Ontario on the Waterloo Spur. Powering the job were GP40-2L(W) 9427 and GP38-2 4725. A year later, CN made the job “as required” however they still usually operate three times per week to Elmira, based on observations.

During a day filled with snow squalls and heavy winds, Ontario Southland Railways crews were hard at work plowing both their lines to Tillsonburg and St. Thomas. Here, the plow is seen uncoupled beside the Salford shop as the pair of FP9u’s had went ahead to battle some deep drifts solo just outside Salford. A short time later, the FP9u’s would return and couple to plow 401005 resuming snow clearing efforts for the remainder of the afternoon on the St. Thomas Subdivision.

CP train 270 with SD40 5547, HATX GP40-2 513 and SD40-2 779 pauses just outside Campbellville, Ontario on the Hamilton Subdivision. The train had just entered the line at Guelph Junction and was waiting for a foreman to clear ahead before starting it’s trek down the hill towards Hamilton.

I remember coming home from school and getting a phone call from a friend saying that I needed to get down to the station immediately. My first thought was that there were possibly some CN detours over the Guelph Subdivision, however he informed me that the old CN boxcars across from the station were being prepared to be scrapped on site that afternoon. A short drive later and the scene was as expected, with big equipment from London-based John Zubick making quick work of each boxcar. For as long as I was a kid, those boxcars had been a part of the railway scene in Kitchener and were used as storage by local CN maintenance of way workers and carmen. While taking in the scene as each boxcar was systematically sheared open by the equipment and turned into pieces, one such memory comes to mind. As the excavator dug deep into one of the boxcars it removed an almost pristine wooden CNR railway crossing sign still attached to its post that had been long stored inside. Within seconds…chomp, chomp chomp. Even after three decades, remembering that still stings a little. Here, CN 519983 meets its fate across from the Kitchener station. While this one had the CN noodle, several of the other boxcars scrapped that day had their original CN maple leaf logos.

The typical weekday for the CP Guelph local’s crew was to switch the small yard and the nearby lumber yard at Guelph Jct. during the morning. This occurred after all the weekly morning GO Transit sets departed eastbound for Toronto. After its work at Guelph Jct. was completed the job would depart westbound on the Galt Subdivision to Puslinch to service the transload that was situated beside the siding and mainline. At the time, this track (G90), was quite active with several different companies depending on it for rail service. They included; GE Phillips Forwarding, Central Ontario Transfer, Orica Canada and the Upper Canada Stone Company. Following its work here, the crew would return to Guelph Jct. where they would complete any additional switching prior to departing for Guelph if required with usually a small train. <br> Here during a frigid sunny winter day, CP GP7u 1501 is pictured working the transload track which was quite full at the time.

A frigid winter day sees CP GP38AC 3010 with a long string of motive power at Quebec Street yard in London, Ontario. The other units included; C-424 4237, GP9u’s 8237, 8205, 8208, 8211 and 8226. Also, on hand were SD40 5405 and SW1200RSu 1240. At the time, seeing a GP38AC on the London Division was quite rare as not many wandered down from Western Canada.

At the time, the Burford Spur was still active to Burford and all of Brantford’s active rail customers were serviced from this yard.

CN train 560 with GP40-2L(W)’s 9424 and 9508 are seen passing through Onondaga, Ontario as they head to Nanticoke on the CN Hagersville Subdivision from Brantford. This was the usual mid-90’s power for this assignment as it was typically powered by two or three GP40-2L(W)’s.

“Return to Temagami Ontario When Empty” stamped on CN "barrel" ore car #346074 is still visible as the iron-ore hopper awaits the scrappers torch at the CN S Yard in Vaughan, Ontario. The car was one of hundreds of freight cars that were scrapped at the yard, which was located at MacMillan Yard near the Highway 7 overpass. Today the yard is long gone, and the site is part of a large transload facility.

During a pleasant fall afternoon, the CN 15:30 Kitchener Job is busy switching the large Budd automotive frame plant in Kitchener, Ontario with GP9RM 4131. Every weekday afternoon, the job would traverse the Huron Park Spur to service the plant, lifting the loaded frame cars and setting-off the empty flatcars.

While waiting for a CN westbound by Old Guelph Road near Hamilton West, at Mile 1 of the Dundas Subdivision, we heard a CP ballast train departing Hamilton on the scanner. With the late September evening light slowly starting to fade, we decided to photograph it nearby from where we were as much of the Hamilton Subdivision would already be shadowed in. <br> Here CP GP9u 8200 and SOO Line SD40-2 6608 lead a northbound ballast train around the curve approaching the over/under with the Dundas Subdivision. The power had just crossed the bridge over the QEW as evidenced by the large telephone poles in the background.
