Noe's 349 photos on Railpictures.ca:

Almost 21 years ago, Ontario Southland and the Waterloo-St. Jacobs Railway (WSJR) teamed-up to run a Thomas the Train excursion on the Waterloo Spur from Uptown Waterloo. Here, OSRX 505 leads a southbound excursion back to the Waterloo station with Waterloo Park to the right of the train. My notes don't indicate why OSR RS23 505 was in Waterloo however there is certainly a back story here. The sequence of photos surrounding this event appear that it was well attended, although later that same year the WSJR would become a fallen flag as they ceased operations on the line.

CN L568-13 with GP9RM 4028, GMTX 2323 and GMTX 2279 are rolling through the town of Baden as they head westbound on the Guelph Subdivision to Stratford. All of the cars were later set-off at Stratford for the Goderich-Exeter Railway. The track in the foreground was removed by CN a few months later during the spring.

CN L540 is approaching Mill Street in Kitchener on the Huron Park Spur in early morning light. Powering the train are 4726, GMTX 2255 and 4761. GP38-2 4726, with its unique number-board, was set-off by the previous night’s A431. L540 would set-off all its cars at the interchange with Canadian Pacific and return light power back to the Kitchener yard. As a side note, to the very right is the Iron Horse Trans Canada Trail, which was once a section of CP's Waterloo Subdivision and saw it's last train in July 1993.

During 1997, Home Hardware and VIA Rail were in the midst of an aggressive marketing campaign on television, radio and in the print media as Internet journalism was still not yet invented. So in much simpler times, the best advertising was doing something unique to both brands. So, what better way to capture attention during Home Hardware's and VIA Rail's "Win a Train Trip Across Canada" promotion then to actually bring a piece of the Canadian to Home Hardware headquarter's itself. So the CN 15:30 Kitchener job hauled VIA dome observation car "Prince Albert Park" up the Waterloo Spur to St. Jacobs where it would spend the weekend near the Home Hardware facility. The car was lifted the following week by the same CN assignment and unfortunately both moves to and from Kitchener on the Waterloo Spur were under the cover of darkness.

After a fun chase from Copetown to Paris, things became even more rewarding as CN 391 began slowing down as it crossed the Grand River bridge in Paris on the Dundas Subdivision as seen here.

http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=40621

The lengthy train would eventually come to a stop at the Market Street crossing in Paris to allow VIA Rail #73 to scoop it. This gave photographers ample time to enjoy the consist that included; 6027, GT 5809, Conrail’s 6660 and 6751. Conrail SD45-2 6660 was on lease to power-short CN while SD50 6751 was working-off horsepower hours owed to CN at the time. Once 73 had cleared Pairs West, CN 391 eventually got the light to proceed westward as pictured here and man did that sound great.

Multi-marks reflect in a late summer puddle as a CP hump set takes a rest between shifts with units 1558, 1625 and 6700 at CP's Agincourt yard in Toronto. In the background, CP 1534 and another set of power busily continues the assignment of humping and sorting cars for destinations across Canada and the US.

My dad had gone to Copetown this day to photograph trains on the Dundas Subdivision that were passing the empty space where normally the Inksetter Road bridge would be. At the time, the bridge was undergoing a complete overhaul and the road was closed at each end, making Copetown an even quieter spot for road traffic while the construction was happening. That day he shot the usual trains as would have been seen at the time, including NS 327 and NS 328, however there was one he photographed I wish I had been there for. It was a westbound Southern Ontario Railway (SOR) train with RLK 1200 and RLK 1752 heading-up the grade with cars for either Brantford or Paris from Hamilton. He does have photo of them returning as light power some-time after, so I imagine they set the cars off in Brantford and headed back east. This was the only time I had ever seen photos of SOR taking an actual train up the grade from Hamilton on the Dundas Subdivision; however it might have happened prior and maybe others on this site have even seen it. Also, if anyone has any additional information on this move it would be appreciated and I also wish I had the exact date.

CP SD40 5500 and SD40M-2 5490 are on the Guelph Junction Turn lifting and setting-off cars at Guelph Junction during a hazy summer afternoon. SD40 5500 was retired during 2001 and was later donated to the Revelstoke Railway Museum in Revelstoke B.C. in 2007.

CN GMD1u 1444 (the highest numbered in the series) and GMTX 2695 bring CN train L540 by the frozen landscape along the Huron Park Spur near Queen Street in Kitchener, Ontario. The train is returning with cars lifted from the Canadian Pacific interchange in Kitchener.

The calendar might say spring; however CN L568 is rolling through a winter wonderland on the Huron Park Spur in Kitchener as it approaches Madison Avenue. The train, powered by GMTX 2289, 7080 and 9675 had set-off cars at the interchange with Canadian Pacific in Kitchener as well as spotted one boxcar at Convoy Supply Limited. After returning on the spur light power to the Guelph Subdivision, the units would head westbound to Stratford.

Probably one of my favorite consists from last year was this day when L568 was assigned a GP40-2(W) and a GMD1u, a truly only Canadian pairing. Here L568 heads westbound through Baden with one loaded bulkhead on the Guelph Subdivision with 9675, 1412 and GMTX 2289.

On Good Friday in April 1996, my notes indicate that the Galt Subdivision was busy that afternoon. The conductor of the Hamilton Turn is viewed walking back to his train after activating the switch to enter the east siding switch at Wolverton, just west of Ayr. Here, GP9u 8212, C424 4242 and GP9u 8237 will meet eastbound train 510 before continuing westward to London.

This hobby is always full of firsts, it just depends on how long it takes one to witness theirs. This past Friday certainly had a main event feel to it, as CN L540 departed Stratford for a return to Kitchener with CP 8616 in the lead. Previously, CN 533 had died the night before in Kitchener and the trailing unit was CP 8616. CN L540 would take the two GE's and a block of cars west to Stratford to lessen the congestion in a full yard at Kitchener. While it was rare enough for CN L540 to venture west of Kitchener, it was even more layered as it would take 533's power, with one unit being CP 8616. CN L540 is seen stopping traffic in all directions as it heads eastbound through Baden returning to Kitchener. So for me this was the first time I had ever photographed a CP unit leading a train on the CN Guelph Subdivision.

On Friday morning I awoke to the news that CN 533 had died the previous night in Kitchener and the trailing unit was CP 8616. While that was pretty historic in itself, I had to head to work in Baden, which is situated just west of Kitchener, with thoughts of taking a bit of an extended lunch and hopefully maybe catching the power laying over if it was still there. That plan went out the window rather quickly as it was determined that CN L540 would take the two GE's and a block of cars west to Stratford to lessen the congestion in a full yard at Kitchener. While it was rare enough for CN L540 to venture west of Kitchener,
it was even more layered as it would take 533's power, with one unit being CP 8616. Luckily I'm fortunate as my boss understood that I needed to take an extended break to witness a bit of history on the Guelph Subdivision. So during a brief lull between snow squalls, CN L540 is seen crossing Mill Street in Baden as it heads west to Stratford powered by CN 3143 and CP 8616.

My dad and I would usually venture to the town of Pairs on either Saturday or Sunday mornings to check out the action on the CN Dundas Subdivision. You were always guaranteed some trains that could range from the intermodal “Lasers” 238 and 239, as well as 380, 381, 410 and 411. Trains 380 and 381 ran between Toronto and Windsor, while 410 and 411 operated between Toronto and Sarnia. Also, you would have the usual morning VIA trains as well as occasionally a local from Hamilton that ran to the pit in Paris. I’m assuming on this morning, the signals around town were all red so we ventured down to where the second train station had once stood. Long since torn down, the only thing that remained was the CN express building that was now used for storage at the time. The problem with where the building was situated was that the front of it was never really in good lighting, only maybe at certain points during the longer days of the year. However, at the time I was just fairly new to the hobby so lighting and sun positioning hadn’t really factored into my photography decisions. If it had, I probably never would have taken the photo seeing as how I was shooting more or less in the direction of the sun and on a backlit subject. In the years that followed I don’t believe I ever took another stand-alone photo of the building, only just including it in frames of trains going by. Then one day we went back and it was gone.
