Noe's 514 photos on Railpictures.ca:


A CP consist is heading towards their train that was assembled on the departure tracks at CP’s Toronto yard. The unique lash-up included VIA Rail 6458, CP 5608, VIA Rail 6452 and CP 4742. At the time power short CP was leasing anything they could. Also, the big 6 had just been un-retired during that winter when the railway had re-activated the remaining operable big MLW-built fleet due to the growing motive-power shortage. <br> This was the only time we were fortunate to see a CP big and leased VIA F40’s together and we almost missed it as the power set had quietly departed the shop area. We were able to catch-up to it along the parallel road before they coupled to their train. It is likely why the photo has some motion blur as there unfortunately was not much time to set-up. <br> This was likely a 900-series junk train that was destined for the Belleville Subdivision and ultimately for Montreal. Hopefully, some others to the east photographed it that day as well.

During the first couple months of the Goderich-Exeter Railway takeover of the CN Guelph Subdivision and related trackage, power-short GEXR had leased CN 9633, CN 9643 and CN 9661. On an early winter morning, all three CN units are seen along with NECR 9539 and GEXR 4046 in front of the Kitchener station along with GEXR's recently acquired former CN caboose.

Former VIA Rail FP7A 6553 and Wisconsin Central SD45 6541 share shop space at WC's Sault Ste. Marie diesel facility as both units were in different stages of life. WC 6541 was originally built in 1971 as Burlington Northern, before becoming WC 6541, then re-numbered 7526, before ending its run as NREX 7526. FP7A 6553, which was built for Canadian Pacific in 1953 went on to become Algoma Central FP9A 1756. It was later retired and sold to the West Coast Railway Association in Squamish, British Columbia.

Wisconsin Central (WC) SW8 900, which was former Algoma Central Railway (ACR) 140 is seen sitting in WC's Sault Ste. Marie yard. Earlier that year on January 31, WC had acquired the ACR and all of it's locomotives. The SW8 was built by General Motors in December 1951 and was only ever renumbered by WC as well as given WC logo crests as seen in the photo, never receiving a full repainting. It was eventually sold to Independent Locomotive Service and was given an extended career operating as ILSX 900.

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.

A busy morning at the Galt depot finds BAWX caboose 79788, which is former CN 79788, viewed after being shoved around the west leg of the wye in Galt along with a freshly constructed dimensional load by CP GP9u 8239. The caboose and large load originated from the nearby Babcock & Wilcox facility on the Waterloo Subdvision. Also idling in Galt were CP 5913 and CP 776, while according to notes train 270 also was working with 5409 and 6407. <br> Twenty-six years later and the Babcock & Wilcox facility was still manufacturing large components and is currently regularly serviced by CP.

Over the past two decades, the Waterloo Spur has seen its fair share of change. From the arrival and departure of the fallen flag Waterloo-St. Jacobs Railway (WSJR) to now tourist hauler Waterloo Central Railway (WCR) as well as becoming an integral section of the ION light railway network. Also from being serviced by CN, then throughout the following years under the Goderich-Exeter Railway (GEXR) and then two years ago back to CN. <br> Thanks to a reportedly faulty switch on the ION, CN L566 had timed-out overnight with CN 4102 with the crew making it as far as Randall Drive in north Waterloo. A daylight curfew prohibits CN movements on the ION portion of the spur, so in turn L566 couldn’t resume its trip back to Kitchener until 23:00 with a fresh crew. Thankfully, the seemingly endless winter overcast had parted briefly to illuminate CN 4102 as it idled away at the crossing as seen just after 13:00. Now much like decades prior, CN GP9RM’s are still operating on the spur despite all the changes that have occurred to the line. However, unlike the 1990’s it now takes an extreme circumstance to photograph one in daylight between Kitchener and Elmira. Let’s hope there will be more in 2021.

Also during 1997, King Street in Uptown Waterloo was undergoing a large-scale construction project and the CN 15:30 Job is viewed now stopped between the buildings at King Street after observing a piece of equipment blocking the right-of-way. The CN crew eventually got the attention of a few lingering construction workers that were luckily still there and after realizing their error, one worker quickly moved to rectify the situation. Once given the all clear, CN 4134 and 4137 would continue through Waterloo with nine-ex VIA Rail coaches for WSJR as well as their regular cars for customers in Elmira on the Waterloo Spur.

During summer 1997 the railway scene in Waterloo, Ontario was buzzin with activity. The long awaited Waterloo-St. Jacobs Railway (WSJR) had finally arrived and the newly constructed station near Erb and Caroline Streets had been completed and was ready to go. The former Les Trains Touristiques du St-Laurent had arrived that June complete with two FP9u’s along with several passenger cars. Following the bankruptcy of Les Trains Touristiques du St-Laurent, WSJR had purchased all the equipment at an auction. The future was bright and the Waterloo Spur to Elmira was being given an injection of new life with FP9’s now powering long-awaited tourist trains between Waterloo and St. Jacobs much like a retro throw-back to the CN passenger excursions that had powered Sugar Bush Express excursions to Elmira during the 1970’s. <br> While the WSJR was now busy operating on the spur, CN continued to provide regular freight service to industries on the line at Waterloo, St. Jacobs and Elmira that were all still frequently receiving cars. While both WSJR and CN operated separately, there were rare occasions when the two interchanged equipment. One instance was the highly anticipated move of former VIA Rail coaches that WSJR had also purchased to operate with their newly acquired equipment from Quebec. <br> Here in the sweltering heat of a summer afternoon, CN GP9RM’s 4134 and 4137 are seen about to cross Regina Street in Uptown Waterloo as they slowly haul nine-ex VIA Rail coaches for WSJR as well as their regular freight traffic for Elmira, which required the use of two units on this day’s CN 15:30 Job.

In a snow storm, CN L566 with GMTX 2264 waits near Roger Street in Waterloo, Ontario to head north to Elmira on the Waterloo Spur with six tankers. They were waiting to proceed on the shared portion of the ION Light Rail network, however a faulty switch ended L566's night early and they eventually proceeded back to Kitchener.
