CP 5592 departs Coakley siding on the Galt Subdivision with sister SD40-2's 5686 and 5659 after meeting 5565 east. During the St. Lawrence & Hudson (STLH) era in Ontario, most of CP's mainline trains were powered by mainly SD40's and SD40-2's with aging four-axle MLW's scattered throughout as well.

During 1994, CN had acquired 24 SD40-2’s from Union Pacific, that were originally numbered UP 4090-4102, B4103, 4104, 4106-4114. CN quickly temporarily renumbered them by changing the first number to a ‘6 from 4’ to cycle them into service. These units were seen all over the CN network that year and eventually became CN 5364-5387 by 1995 after being remanufactured at AMF in Montreal.<br>Here is a link to a great photo of a pair of the former UP SD40-2’s on opposite trains taken by Arnold Mooney. <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=41802/><b>HERE</b> </a><br>Here CN train 238 with 9307, a renumbered former UP SD40-2 and a CN GP40-2L(W) are seen heading towards the former Snake Road walk bridge (now named Beth Jacob Court) on the Oakville Subdivision, just east of Bayview Junction.

During an early summer morning, four GP40's lead an eastbound CN train approaching the former Snake Road walk bridge (now named Beth Jacob Court). The units included; 9635, 9302, EMDX 201 and 9XXX. GP40 201 is no stranger to the Oakville Subdivision as it had operated as GO Transit 726 prior to becoming part of the Electro-Motive lease fleet. Originally it was built in January 1967 as Chicago Rock Island & Pacific 381.

CN had unveiled its 'CN North America' paint scheme in mid-1992, which was designed to promote the company’s expansive Canada to Mexico transportation network with their BN-FNM partnership into Mexico at the time. While the classic noodle logo remained, it was placed on a grey map designed to replicate North America. The first units to receive the paint scheme were CN’s newly rebuilt SD40u’s in the 6000 series, as well as 25 new Dash 8-40CM 2400's that were delivered new in the livery from GE in November-December 1992. Then in 1994-1995, CN’s new Dash 9-44CW’s 2500-2522 had also arrived with the CNNA map scheme. As well hundreds of other CN units were repainted into the colours including; GP40-2L(W)’s, SD40’s, SD40-2(W)’s, while four-axle units received a slightly modified version when they were repainted minus the grey map. However, a year later in 1995, when CN’s new SD70I’s were released from GMDD in London they had a modified scheme with a just a large CN noodle on the long-hood that no longer featured the CNNA map. (Reference to Eric Gagnon- Trackside Treasure Blog for information) <br> Here CN 9427 and 9482 are seen on a sunny evening awaiting a return trip back to Toronto at the Kitchener, Ontario yard. The pair are both still adorned in their CNNA schemes, some 27 years after its debut. The units had arrived overnight on A431 after once again stalling on the big grade near Acton on the Guelph Subdivision. This had resulted in them laying over in Kitchener as there was no time for the crew to return to MacMillan yard that night.

CN 385 with 2402, 2632 and 2513 heads westward through Paris to work at Paris West after following the weed spraying train 999. It appears I should have followed this train west at the time....

A Cherrey Bus Lines chartered bus unloads passengers are who are seen boarding a waiting CN eastbound powered by very clean CN GP9RM's 7082 and 7083. Bringing-up the rear was car Sandford Fleming. There seems to be no information as to why this CN business train was in Kitchener this day, however hopefully someone out there knows more information they can share on it. It was certainly neat to witness passengers boarding a train on the opposite side of the VIA Rail station so many years ago now.

It's a Sunday evening in Kitchener and VIA Rail train #689 is arriving at the station with 6413 west and the platform has several people awaiting it's arrival. To the left on one track are CN GP9RM's 7030, 7031 as well as cabooses 79817 and 79513. To the left of them are several CN lettered passenger coaches and CN GP9RM's 7082 and 7083 on the head-end. My notes only indicate this train as an extra east, however a bus soon arrived and passengers filed onto these cars eventually departing Kitchener at 18:15 heading east to Toronto.

GMDD SW1001 117 is seen at the MacMillan yard diesel shop ready to return to the General Motors Diesel Division plant in London. Presumably, it is already in the consist of CN 421 with SD40 5143, which will take it the back way to London via the Guelph Subdivision after having some type of work completed at the MacMillan yard shop. To the left is very clean CN GP9RM 7041. Photo taken with permission after signing a CN release form at the shop office.

The CN West Toronto station as seen on a spring afternoon in April 1994. Vandals and time were slowly taking their toll on the aging structure and it would eventually be demolished in 1999.

A trio of Canadian Pacific GP9u's 1516, 1572 and 1519 are viewed pulling out another cut of cars that will be humped at Toronto Yard on a spring morning. This trio of yard goats were the regular assigned hump power at the time, along with other sets of GP7u's and GP9u's.

For the second time in less than a week during July 2019, CN L568 had a six-axle unit leading westbound to Stratford. CN 5729, 4784 and 4710 are seen at Baden, Ontario on the Guelph Subdivision with work ahead at the two industries around the New Hamburg area.

CN 2658 is leading an eastbound as it curves through Paris, Ontario on the Dundas Subdivision seen from the John Street bridge. This is still a great location for eastbound photos, however the vegetation has grown in considerably over the years.

A long way from the Burlington Northern.... Leased GATX GP40G 3080 and Cape Breton & Central Nova Scotia Railway (CBNS) C630M 2035 are viewed building their train for Goderich at Stratford yard on February 6, 1994. The winter of 1993-1994 was a brutal one for Goderich-Exeter Railway’s (GEXR) 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.

My first experience with Northern Ontario railroading was watching a Rail Innovations VHS tape called “Superior Railroading,” a couple decades ago. The video focused on CP trains rolling across the Canadian Shield featuring, tunnels, rock cuts, single track mainlines with meets and amazing scenery. I was hooked and years later I would be able to railfan the northern Ontario mainlines of both CN and CP. However, it was quickly discovered that with the beautiful and almost untouched landscape that both mainlines traversed between Toronto and the northern hub of Sudbury, it also presented a unique set of challenges. Long waits between trains, little warning of approaching freights, unforgiving lighting, as well distances between accessible locations would often make for a quality over quantity day spent trackside. It was not until a first visit to the very small town of Cartier, located north of Sudbury on CP’s transcontinental mainline that railfanning Northern Ontario really became fun. Cartier was actually the opposite of anything previously described and as Arnold Mooney said best in a comment “couldn’t recall anything negative” when railfanning that area. With friendly crews more than happy to print line-up’s, a classic station to wait around with benches, great scenery both south and north of town, the ability to plan upcoming photos of impending trains, plus being able to have decent lighting in either direction, as well as conversing with crews also made time pass incredibly fast. <br> Here, CP train 440 departs the Cartier station southbound with CP 9301 and 5958 after a fresh crew had boarded. CP 9301 was a large SD90MAC-H, which was part of a group of four built by GMD in 1998 and delivered to the railway in the beaver scheme. The original order of this model was for 20, however it decreased to only four after problems and reliability issues began to persist the model. This continued unfortunately through their entire careers. In the end, a failed main generator had sidelined 9301 and it was retired in November 2008 eventually being sold to RB Recycling in December 2010 after sitting stored unserviceable in St. Luc yard. According to reports, 9301 was scrapped in 2011 and became the last of the model to exist prior to being cut-up after its relatively short life.
