Canadian Pacific’s Hagey Job with GP38-2’s 3108 and 3118 are returning back to Cambridge having just crossed the Grand River Bridge and are approaching Riverbank Drive. The pair had set off cars for CN at the interchange at South Junction in Kitchener before departing light power to Hagey yard.

For just a few minutes the rains of a system that had lingered over the Northern Ontario town of Parry Sound had stopped. During the calm, the sun even tried it's best to come out, only to be overtaken once again by the dark clouds that seemed to be relentless during this trip. However, luckily in that short window of time, CN 3860 north made it's way across the DRZ (Directional Running Zone) and was able to beat the rains through town at it passed Mile 23 of CP's Parry Sound Subdivision.

VIA Rail train #1, the Canadian, with 6435 and 6434 arrives at the Parry Sound, Ontario station on Canadian Pacific’s Parry Sound Subdivision in the pouring rain. The train was actually running about 15 minutes ahead of schedule, thus they had to wait for their only passenger to still arrive at the station before they could depart at the scheduled time.

I can honestly say that up until 2019 I had never been able to photograph a train on my birthday. It's not a streak that I was trying to break or ever really cared for, however sometimes you just end-up re-writing history due to circumstance. It's hard to explain it, but when you turn 40, the best way I can desbribe it is that it becomes a time stamp no matter if you want it to or not. That entire day I was just trying to take it in and roll with it going through all the normal motions of family life, work and then family. Everything was the same old, except a little more special being of course ones birthday. Then on the way home came texts that a late running L568 was departing Kitchener for Stratford putting my route directly in it's path.
<br>
So I stopped at Petersburg and waited it out. I had beat L568 there by several miunutes so all I had was time. And it was in those few miunutes where I was actually able to take it all in. Four decades with almost the last 30 camera in hand beside the Guelph Subdivision photographing trains in some form. From CN, to GEXR, back to CN that's when 40 years hit me. In the distance like countless times before, the approaching rumble of a westbound on the line I grew-up with made me feel that everything was right in the world, sounding even more speicial that evening.

Norfolk Southern 8721 and 8038 have just arrived off a train and are seen tied down in the CN yard in St. Thomas. The other consist there that day was NS 3546 and 6624. At the time, usually at least two NS power sets could be found between assignments in St. Thomas for their auto trains that operated on the CN Paynes and Cayuga Subdivisions.

Norfolk Southern B32-8 3546 and SD60 6624 are awaiting their next assignment either on the CN Paynes or Cayuga Subdivision as they idle away a Saturday afternoon in the CN yard in St. Thomas. Also, the CN station can be seen partially in the background behind the power.

By early 1994, the Railway Capital of Canada was a far cry from its former glory days, however compared to today St. Thomas was still actually an active city as far as being served by different railroads. Long gone were the days of Conrail, Chessie and any passenger trains, however CSX, NS, CN and CP trains still converged on the city. CSX was still operating across the CASO Subdivision, however not for much longer, while NS still ran dedicated auto parts trains on the Cayuga and Paynes Subdivisions, although that window was shortly closing too. In nearby Talbotville, CN served the huge Ford assembly plant and had a large yard with several assignments based, including serving industries on the Cayuga Subdivision. Also, CP came into the city regularly on their St. Thomas Subdivision.
<br>
Here on an incredibly cold but sunny winter afternoon, CSX 7572 and 7756 are viewed idling beside the historic Canada Southern Railway station. This power was likely off CSX R320, which would tie-down here and not continue to Buffalo. Eventually it would become R321 simply departing St Thomas then it would ‘cab hop’ to Fargo, where it would lift all the traffic off the North end and continue to Windsor and Detroit.

With word that CN X568 would be taking the remaining Ontario Southland Railway (OSRX) equipment from Guelph to London across the CN Guelph Subdivision, I had set aside my lunch hour to photograph the movement near my work in the Baden area. I had several spots in mind and seeing as X568 was restricted to 15mph, due to a non-functioning EOT, a chase would be relatively easy. However, sometimes the best laid plans can fall to pieces in seconds as was the case here, after it was learned that X568 would make it no further west then Kitchener. I believe I left my office chair spinning, as I headed out the door and into my car, then down the highway back east towards Kitchener. Luckily I was able to get there in time thanks to CN 568 doubling over and getting out ahead of X568, which waited patiently on the mainline.
<br>
Here, CN X568 with it's pure Ontario Southland Railway consist is seen crossing over from the mainline to the siding prior to shoving into the Kithchener yard where it would tie-down for the day. This was the first time in almost 20 years I have seen this many railfans in Kitchener and the first time since 1997 that I've photograped an MLW in the city making it a lunch hour to be remembered.

In September 1996, VIA Rail had launched the testing of two IC3 Flexliner demonstrator sets on some of their routes throughout Ontario. These new units were designed and built by ADtranz, which was a new company spin-off created from ABB and Daimler-Benz. These two trainsets entered revenue service on September 29, as it was concurrent with the release of the new VIA Rail system timetable that touted the trains as a “commuter service.” However, just as quickly as they began service they were removed on September 30 as they were found to not be reliably activating track circuitry due to their light weight. Eventually, after 7 weeks of further testing and modifications they were deemed fit to return to service where they operated on assignments from Toronto to Ottawa, Stratford, London and Niagara Falls in various schedule rotations. One set would operate until March 1997 and the other stopped running in early May. In the end, the tests were reportedly not successful and VIA Rail felt the technology would not “fit their needs.”
<br>
Here, VIA Rail officials had rolled-out the blue carpets for an official unveiling at the Kitchener station during a weekday afternoon. This trainset was on display for several hours before heading west to Stratford later in the evening on the Guelph Subdivision.

CP C424 4212 and RS18u 1836 were the assigned power for the locals based out of the Smiths Falls, Ontario yard during a hazy summer afternoon. MLW 1836 was eventually converted to CP Control Cab 1117 while 4212 was later sold to the Quebec Gatineau Railway (QGRY).

Goderich-Exeter Railway (GEXR) GP9 179 undergoes some emergency traction motor repairs near the location of the CN roundhouse at Stratford Yard.
<br>
The winter of 1993-1994 was a brutal one for GEXR's fleet of second-hand GP9’s and by early February, most were either out of service or severely ailing, which forced RailTex to lease power or transfer from their other operations.

CN 5608 still looks new as it leads train 399 departing Paris West on the Dundas Subdivision with 9477 and 5325 trailing. SD70I 5608 was built and released from the GMDD plant in London a few months prior in 1995 and is enduring it's first winter as it heads west towards the city of it's birthplace during a frigid winter afternoon.

PNC 3011 and HATX 511 as well as several CP units await their next assignment at CP's Toronto Yard diesel facility. This was during the great CP lease fleet era of the mid-1990's when the railway was leasing hundreds of unit's from various companies.
