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.

Mt Pleasant was/is a great place to watch trains. I just wish they'd cut the trees back a little further for westbounds.

2332 will be the leader, an M420 trailing. The only certainty is that it won't go north, the MLW's being kept in Southern Ontario as they got closer to the end of their career. But I still miss that shape and sound. However, they were awful to ride rocking back and forth like a wooden roller coaster.

When CP still had running rights on the Oakville Sub, once in a while you'd get to see something a little entertaining

309 was a "leftovers" train for Winnipeg, that often had a lot of extra power. 4 SD40's, an M630 and a GP40-2 drag this huge subdivision clogging (now called over siding) up the escarpment into Richmond Hill

Agincourt always had something good. It's quite disappointing how often I went on cloudy days.
