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.

Every once in a while something rare showed up at Agincourt. Or course, in those days, you could also sign a release form and go for a walk.

Standing on the hallowed ground of Canadian rail photography. Considering the lousy light, I hope Nick Morant would be proud.

The grade drops off rapidly at the top of Kicking Horse Pass. 8949 with grain loads is about to descend to LAke Wapta, and then the Big Hill to Field.

Walking just off the road waiting for a loaded grain train, and see the signal at Stephen shows an eastbound which sounds very close, I run to the edge of the gravel hillside to see if there is an angle for a shot. Then I lean a bit to far and find myself scrambling/falling down the hill trying not to tumble or drop my camera. Arriving at the bottom intact as this comes around the corner; I take the shot, and start climbing.

Another attempt to display the enormity of the "Big Hill" as a loaded grain train is stopped on the 2.4% (I believe)grade that ends in Field. It's really big!
