As the moon rises and clouds blur across the night sky, Canadian National G878 rolls past the ancient coaling tower in the sleepy town of Washago, Ontario. With G878 moving at a steady 15 M.P.H through town, the motion in this scene was both frozen by my external flash and accentuated by a 59 second exposure. As some of you may know, today I launched a web series called Railway Ties! The series will explore various aspects of Canadian railroading, as told from the unique first-person perspective of the train. Coincidentally, the pilot episode entitled "Canada's Freight Train" features a scene from this same location. After all, Washago has long been one of my favourite places to watch trains... To view the pilot episode of Railway Ties and see this familiar location under the cover of a late winter's snowstorm, click the following link: <a href=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJzDNKuVnp8> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJzDNKuVnp8 </a>

The weather is getting warmer, the days are filled with sunshine and it feels like spring has finally arrived in Southern Ontario! While the trees start to bloom and flowers blossom, CN has really been providing some colour of their own. Here, CN train no. 435 cruises through Paris with a grab-bag consist while some locals head towards the fishing ponds on a lovely May afternoon.

<b> The Trains of Canada 150: </b> Making good time across Eastern Ontario, Canadian Pacific train no. 40B wastes no time as it completes a quick crew change at Smiths Falls, ON before proceeding east to Montreal. With serendipitous timing, 40B pulled into Smiths Falls just as an Ottawa-bound VIA train rolled through with one of their funky Canada 150 units shoving on the rear. Seeing two generations of passenger locomotives celebrating Canada's heritage was quite special.

With the sun shining and the birds singing, it is a gorgeous August morning as Canadian Pacific train no. 40B races along the Belleville Subdivision at Cherrywood. Fresh out of Toronto yard, the train will make good time across Eastern Ontario before changing crews at Smiths Falls and crossing into Quebec for their next show in Montreal. Stephen Host and I chased the train 190 rail-miles east to Smiths Falls before calling it a day. Despite being out late playing rock n' roll the previous night and running on less than 2 hours of sleep, it was an exhilarating chase that was well worth the early morning. Thanks to everyone who kept us west-enders "in the know" on our chase from Toronto to Smiths Falls!

After the festivities have wrapped up and under the setting sun, Canadian Pacific 40B (the Canada 150 Train) prepares to make a reverse move into Aberdeen Yard on the north end of town. CP exemplified that, even in 2017, railroads still have a magic about them.

<b> Calling all photographers, videographers and fans of the Algoma Central...</b> As some of you may know, aside from taking photography and chasing trains I keep myself busy playing in a band. One of the songs on our recently released EP is a song called "Black Bear". The song pays tribute to the old ACR and specifically the Tour of The Line train, which I rode from Sault Ste. Marie to Hearst, Ontario in March of 2015. Being one of the final runs to Hearst, it was a very sentimental ride and I had to put the experience to music. Along the way, I took a lot of video of the gorgeous Northern Ontario scenery - which led me to thinking, it would make for a great music video! Although I shot lots of footage, I wanted to reach out to the community and see if anyone would be interested in having their photos or videos of the ACR featured in the video. If you have any potential footage, please reach out to me direct at: lostangelosband@gmail.com

<b>The New Kid in Town: </b> Well, although not necessarily 'new', this 1967-built Hawker Siddeley RTC-85 sure looks good on her Fiftieth birthday. On a sunny May evening in downtown Toronto, a few heads definitely turned towards this beautifully refurbished cab-car.

<b>Blue Christmas...</b> On a misty Christmas Eve, Canadian National hotshot train no. 148 cruises through Bayview Junction behind a pair of big blue GEs. This train made for a nice 'early Christmas gift', as I was en-route to the mall to finish some last minute shopping when I paid a brief visit to the Junction. I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas, and the only thing blue is the locomotives that you photograph!

<b>The Tunnel Bridge.</b> At mile 4.2 of the Trillium Canal Spur, an ex-Canadian Pacific MLW RS18u guides a single car from Feeder Yard across the "Tunnel Bridge" for St, Catharines. Once operated by the Canadian National, the tunnel bridge spans a deep cut, wherein Canadian Pacific's Hamilton Subdivision runs on the approach to a tunnel underneath the Welland Canal. During the early 1970s, the Niagara Region saw a major reconfiguration of its railroad lines with the advent of the Welland Canal bypass project. On this sunny December morning, TRRY 1859 is seen working its way towards Welland and ultimately St. Catharines, while the 108 spots cars at the Atlantic Biodiesel facility in the background. Later in the day, the 108 would also cross the Tunnel Bridge to access the small Trillium yard in Welland. Once upon a time, Canadian National and Norfolk Southern shared an intermodal facility on the 108 side of the Tunnel Bridge in Dain City. Like so much of the infrastructure in the area, though, it is all but a memory.

A 1959-built Montreal Locomotive Works S-13 chugs across the Dain City lift-bridge with a cut of cars from Atlantic Biodiesel. I'm hoping that locals can share more photos of this beautiful structure, past or present. Arnold Mooney, I'm looking at you! :)
