CP GP9u 8224 is busy switching the North Bay, Ontario yard situated across from the historic station, which was located at 100 Ferguson Street in the heart of the city. At the time, CP trains still stopped here for crew changes as they travelled on the North Bay and Chalk River Subdivisions between Sudbury (Coniston) and Smiths Falls.

CN International caboose 78105 gets too see at least one more sunset as it awaits its eventual fate at CN’s S Yard in Vaughan, Ontario. Situated beside the Highway #7 overpass the stub-ended tracks were a portion of CN’s MacMillan Yard and used for the storage of older and retired cars, which eventually were scrapped on site.

During fall 1994, railway crews were performing extensive undercutting work at CP’s Hunter Street tunnel in Hamilton, Ontario to reduce the actual tunnel’s floor. At the time this work was in preparation for future upcoming GO Transit service through the tunnel and into the city’s downtown. This project resulted in CP detouring some trains over the CN Grimsby Subdivision between Hamilton and Niagara Falls from October 29 to November 1. One of the trains detoured was the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey “Red” Circus train on October 31, which was powered by CP SD40 5550 and SD40-2 5478. <br> On the morning of October 29, my friends and I were doing our usual rounds in Hamilton, when we heard CP 1817 on the scanner getting a clearance on the CN Grimsby Subdivision. At the time we had no idea about the detour trains or the work being done on the tunnel. Luckily, we weren’t far from Stuart Street, so we made a beeline for the bridge over the yard. Upon our quick arrival, we saw the small crowd of local railfans already gathered there waiting for the CP train. They then gave us the details on what was happening as they were already well informed. Here, CP Toronto-Niagara Falls manifest #526 is viewed passing through CN’s Stuart Street Yard with CP 1817, HLCX 3110, CP 4704 and CP 1843 heading to Niagara Falls.

CN caboose 79817 shows obvious signs of damage as it sits at Burlington West, Ontario on the CN Oakville Subdivision. One wonders if it was ever repaired or was just taken to MacMillan Yard and eventually scrapped.

CP RS-18u 1819 and GP38-2 3038 wait between assignments at CP’s Aberdeen Yard in Hamilton, Ontario with a caboose. Not many CP GP38-2’s were repainted in the action red paint minus the multi-mark prior to the duel flags paint scheme being introduced in 1993.

During a now sunny late fall afternoon, a CN westbound powered by SD40-2(W) 5362, a former Union Pacific SD40-2 (now CN) and a GP40-2L(W) is viewed approaching Bayview Jct. in Burlington, Ontario on the Oakville Subdivision.

CN SD40-2(W) 5363 and GP40-2L(W) 9444 show off their somewhat still fresh CNNA colors as they wait to depart the MacMillan Yard diesel shop tracks amongst a sea of other motive power in Vaughan, Ontario.

This October afternoon was predominantly overcast when we arrived at Bayview Jct. in Burlington, Ontario, however as each hour ticked by, the clouds gave away to some substantial sunny breaks. <br> Here, a CP westbound catches ones of those breaks as it heads towards Hamilton with a consist typical of the time period that included: CP GP9u 8223, C-424 4243, HLCX GP38AC 3679 and another C-424. HLCX 3679 was ex-IC 9547 and nee-GMO 728.

In late 1994, as the season changed from fall to winter, CN’s big MLW fleet was still hanging on, however their active numbers were slowly dwindling down. <br> Here, CN M-636 2308 is viewed inside one of the service bays at MacMillan Yard in Vaughan, Ontario. The unit was officially retired by CN on May 23, 1995 and eventually scrapped in New Brunswick after having parts removed at Gordan Yard in Moncton.

-rp.ca #1000 <br> A year after being applied, the AR Illinois graphic still looks fresh as 4138 leads the CN 15:30 Kitchener Job to Elmira on the Waterloo Spur, about to cross King Street in downtown Waterloo. This was the first time I had photographed 4138 on the line heading north since my cab ride three years prior. The mid-90’s was a simpler time in Uptown Waterloo, back during an era when CN trains to Elmira operated almost un-noticed in daylight. Except for those few devoted local fans that would regularly photograph them.

My connection to CN 4138 goes back over 30 years. In July 1993, I had my first cab ride in the GP9RM on the Waterloo Spur, which at the time still had a CN logo on its nose. <br> Two years after that, it famously had its logo/CN noodle removed and AR Illinois lettering was applied for its role in the Canadian movie “The Wrong Guy,” which was filmed around Toronto and was featured in the train scenes. <br> In the three decades since my ride, 4138 still occasionally can be found heading to Elmira on the spur, now on Kitchener-based CN L566. Both the GP9RM and the line itself have survived the test of time, however the world around the tracks in Waterloo has been transformed. The downtown core and the former Waterloo Town Square Mall have been altered with the addition of the ION Light Rail network. As well, infrastructure along the spur from King Street to the Northfield Drive area of the city has been modernized to accommodate the light transit corridor. With this addition also came an operational agreement where freight trains could now only operate over this portion of the spur to Elmira between 23:00-05:00 due to the LRT schedule. <br> However, there is no better example of time, then on 4138 itself. As the veteran GP9RM emerges through the buildings and onto King Street, it’s fading, and battle-scarred AR Illinois logo is evidence enough. Here, the conductor has just finished protecting the crossing while onlookers and casual bystanders bring out their smartphones to capture it with photos or vids. And just for that moment, 4138 is a star again. If someone had told me when I was a teenager that 30 years later, I would still be photographing the same unit on my hometown line, I don’t know if I would have believed them. This likely won’t be the case moving forward as the remaining aging CN GP9RM fleet are in the twilight of their storied careers. <br> For my 1000th post on rp.ca I’ll cross the tracks and step back in time to the summer of 1996 where myself and 4138 were both much younger.

With its class lights on, CN SD40u 6004 heads west through the Aldershot, Ontario station on the Oakville Subdivision either destined for the Dundas or Grimsby Subdivisions. Behind the remanufactured SD is mix of units that includes another recently rebuilt SD40u and a newly acquired Union Pacific SD40-2 that would be later rebuilt into a CN 5300-series SD40-2 at AMF in Montreal, Quebec.

A CP work train is viewed sitting in the village of Ayr, Ontario on the Galt Subdivision. I don’t have any information on why the train was set-off here, as it caught us by surprise at the time. Also, I believe this was the first and only time I ever photographed a CP Rail tank car.

A short CP eastbound with C-424 4223 and SD40-2 5718 are pictured waiting at the east siding switch Wolverton for a meet with a westbound on the Galt Subdivision. The siding is situated just west of the town of Ayr, Ontario and is now home to a large CPKC yard and auto compound.

During a summer evening, CN train 421 is seen performing it’s work at the Kitchener yard with GP40-2L(W) 9511, another GP40-2L(W) and a GP9RM. The GP9RM was either set-off in the yard or continued to Stratford or London. Also, there appears to be a dimensional load behind the power that possibly originated from Babcock & Wilcox on the CN Fergus Spur.

CN GP9RM 4133 leads the 15:30 Kitchener Job through downtown Waterloo, Ontario on the Waterloo Spur as they return from Elmira with two tanks and a caboose. At the time, the Waterloo Grand Trunk station to the right of the train was undergoing an extensive cosmetic restoration. A year later the station received it’s historic building status.
