About awmooney
Retired early due to health problems after 42 years in grocery business; started watching trains in the early 70s and took up photography in 1974 in Niagara, and of course Bayview Jct.. Graduated to a half decent camera a year later; the D&H is my favourite road (by far) but have done a fair amount of photography in Canada. As far as cameras go, suffered thru endless problems with the old Miranda series after ditching the Kodak 110 when I found I really was interested in this hobby and it wasn't just a passing fancy. Used Pentax series for a number of years before going to Mamiya 645 Mediums as well as a variety of old 4x5 Speed Graphics. Currently still shoot film with the 645s and an RB. Digital? Someday, maybe. Home is Grimsby, Ontario. Railpictures.ca is the first Site I have contributed to.

![CN train #401 was a daily 'treat' for the fans. You never knew what kind of power would be on it. The railfan routine was to go into Hamilton's Stuart St yard and find out; for in the mornings this train would back out of Hamilton until clear of the Junction at Bayview and then get lined up westward up the Dundas Sub.
Today's CN 2024 and 2000, a pair of C-630Ms made for an eventful chase and I followed this train as far as Paris.
All locomotives in this series were off the CN roster by 1996.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/CN-2024-West-at-Bayview-Jct-200x150.jpg)

![Shown here is the CP train #734 heading over the Niagara River via the old Steel Arch bridge, now just a hulk too expensive to dismantle after the CP's line was pulled out of downtown Niagara Falls Ont in the late 1990s. Power this day is CP 5841, CRL 603, CP 751, SOO 6621 and CR 6308, 6322, 6304 and 812; these last four going off lease. CP had leased 24 SD40s back in the mid-90s from Conrail Leasing, and these were 4 of the first 12 to be returned by mid-November. Second unit in consist, CRL 603 (x-CR 6280)as well as another 11 Conrail Leasing units on the system remained until taken over by HELM (and renumbered)in the spring of 1996.Photo taken at 1315 hrs on a windy but bright day.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/CRL-going-off-lease-200x150.jpg)

![A close call for all concerned. Boat and trailer being towed up to the storage facility when the boat somehow broke loose, slid off the trailer, down the grade, and right onto the CP mainline. It was lucky a freight meet was coming up, the southbound CP 9147, 9156 was slowing up as the northbound was just taking to the siding. Crews from both trains, along with others locally tried to no avail to move the boat. In the end a fork lift from the marina had to come to the rescue.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Incident-at-Point-au-Baril-200x150.jpg)

This station suffered a stove fire in 1986 which burned thru the roof and put the station permanently out of commission. The town could not come up with the moving/restoration expenses after CN offered them the building for the token $1 charge, and subsequently the building was razed.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Fog-bound-at-Dundas-200x150.jpg)

No looking for phone numbers, no frustration, no worrying about ickets, luggage or a live person to ask questions of. Just check the Board. Here on the outside wall of the CPR Parry Sound station is the "lineup & time for the once daily Canadian.
