About Dave Brook

I started chasing trains after listening to my grandfathers stories of riding steam through the Rockies, and seeing the ore train in Bracebridge. From that I worked for CN/VIA/GO Transit for 6 years before becoming an air traffic controller. I discovered I liked trains more from the outside than in.

The fall colours are starting......well, on the train anyway. I think this also might be a different season Time Machine with http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=917. A lot of trees have come and gone. Nothing stays the same.

This is an interesting hobby. Sometimes incredibly tiring and frustrating. But once in a while, the scales balance. In perfect late afternoon light 5046, feeling a little bit SD40, a little bit SD45, flies towards Cambridge with the ubiquitous GE trailing...as it should be.

The Galt Sub is a sea of peaks and valleys. I'm not sure it has any flat spots west of Mississauga. Charging out of another double dip, 137 flies up a hill headed for work at Wolverton (where good trips go to die) before eventually ending up in Chicago.

Fall is starting in farm country. And these days, there is little that is more peaceful than pretending it's 1960.

On the way to the Trenton Airshow, I overtook the eastbound at Oshawa. It seemed worthwhile to explore territory I'd never been in to see what might be possible. I've seen many variations of this shot over the years. Like everything, it's a pity it's becoming so overgrown.

It's a grey dreary day in Southern Ontario. The maples that turn red are at the very beginning of creating a fall spectacle. CP decided to help out by tossing in a little orange.

I've gotten lost in 2020. for 7 weeks, London Buffalo 254-255 had the "Triplets".....3 standard cab GM's careening back and forth on the Galt and Hamilton Subs. Figuring I would never see anything like this again(I haven't to date), I did everything I could to catch them in as many places as possible.

Sure the sun is in the wrong place, but the colours are starting to pop as this wonderful, unintended I suspect, tribute to history rolls through Galt.

At the height of the pandemic, 4 months in, the trains still ran. It's sad how many people have already forgotten just how odd and uncomfortable those days were while we were figuring out what was happening.....yet the train crews still did their thing. Sadder, is how fast management forgot how critical they really are.

Not to be outdone, CP also chipped in with an SD40-2 leader in 2024. Every time it happens, you wonder if it's the last time.
