OSR's GJR Power Move is on its final leg to Salford shops after being moved to St. Thomas from London East by CN L584 the night prior. Former CP RS18u 1801 is on point of the move as it heads North under Hwy 401 at Putnam on CP's St. Thomas Sub. Strong rumours say both RS18us, 182 and 181, will be back in service while the days are numbered for the RS23s...

New and old... OSRX 1245 is fresh out of the shop wearing cooperate THB inspired paint paired up with its sister unit, OSRX 1210, still in former CP paint.

OSR's pair of former action red CP GP9s head West to Ingersoll with interchange traffic from CP in Woodstock. What was a common sight in the 90s and even up to the mid 2000s can once again be recreated after 3-4 years of the 8235 and 1591 being split between the Salford and the Guelph Divisions

CP 244 passes under a recently modernized wooden truss-style pedestrian located just off Sarnia Rd between between Hyde Park and Wonderland with Norfolk Southern's Interstate Heritage Unit in the lead. Once in London the outbound crew would quickly add CP 4447 to the lead before continuing East to Wolverton

CP 650 gets a shove from none other than former SP 264, now UP 6310, as it passes through WSS Lobo. Albeit nose in, the rarity makes up for orientation

Framed with the Courtland Collectables Antique Market sign, the Cayuga Clipper does their last ever crew change in Courtland. Although the snow is in full force, the sun made a welcomed appearance before they departed West for St. Thomas. On a line notable for indistinguishable locations, this sign surely does the trick to place the shot

Knowing ONR 308 was departing Kidd (Hoyle, ON), the 3 of us decided to trudge roughly 10m on to the bank of the mostly frozen Frederic House River. Thinking we had more time we made our way through waist deep snow only to hear the horn. I quickly got in to an army crawl getting the shot with seconds to spare

A variety 5 pack of differently painted/faded GP38-2s lead CP T72 up the Waterloo Sub. The only thing missing is a Pacman!

Shortly after departing Havelock yard, CP T07 trundles along at 10mph with the crew giving the units a bit of throttle providing a puff of smoke. SOO 4410 has been a hot potato lately between terminals

As the one year mark for the CN takeover of the GEXR Guelph Sub approaches, here's the last hurrah of GEXR 431 traversing Kent Street with the recently applied SP decal. Alot has changed through the operations of CN/Metrolinx including an unsightly install of a fence lining Kent Street. As a side note - GEXR 3054 continues to provide HP for B&P with the SP decal slowly fading.

An unusually early CN L584 lifts loaded frames from Formet Industries Inc. and will soon head west to the Talbot Sub wye to London (normally heads west under darkness). Unfortunately for me a GMTX pair was used for this move rather than IC 9571 and CN 4796 also assigned to London currently

Although pulling off on St. Thomas's Hwy 3 expressway is not ideal, nor is the leader, a brief pause in cars allowed a clear shot of the 6 day a week L584 arriving in town

OSR's matched F units have just finished switching Cami and are headed to Woodstock. After arriving in Ingersoll 10min prior on a day calling for heavy storms and not knowing whether the Woodstock Job was running, I could not have timed it better
