About Craig Walker


I've lived in southern California since the mid-1950s, and have been photographing railroads for decades, thanks to my older brother Douglas also being a railfan - and our grandfather engineered the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific's line to Prince Rupert. In all these decades, I have only railfanned in three countries (England, Scotland and China) outside of North America (US, Canada and Mexico). These days I use a Nikon DSLR, but before going digital I shot a lot of slides.

Toronto Transit Commission CLRV 4011 heads west on the TTC's 506 Carlton line, passing through the intersection of Gerrard and Blackburn. These Canadian Light Rail Vehicles were constructed by Bombardier-predecessor Urban Transportation Development Corporation (UTDC) from 1978 through 1981, and were unique to the city of Toronto, Ontario. After nearly 40 years of service (beginning on September 30, 1979), the CLRVs will be retired by the end of 2019, replaced by more modern streetcars. In the background is the Zhong Hua Men (中华门 or 中華門) Chinese Archway in the city's East Chinatown district. The archway, which officially opened on September 12, 2009, was built to commemorate Canada's Chinese pioneers, labourers, railway workers and subsequent descendants and immigrants of Chinese descent who contributed to all aspects of Canadian society.

GO Transit train 7905 (Lincolnville to Toronto) departs the Unionville station in Markham, Ontario, with MP40PH-3C 618 shoving on the rear. This location is called Hagerman on Canadian National's Uxbridge Subdivision. So, three names for the same location? That's not confusing at all! (August 30, 2019)

After sitting in 6623-foot Pefferlaw Siding (on the Bala Sub) for a couple of meets, Canadian National Railway train M 31841 (a long haul freight, consisting of all autoracks, heading from Symington Yard in Winnipeg, Manitoba, to MacMillan Yard in Toronto, Ontario) is on the move again as it rounds the curve in Cedar Valley, in Ontario's York Region. This train warrants just a single locomotive, Canadian National class EF-640g Dash 8-40CW 2162 (the former BNSF 801, originally Santa Fe 801).

Canadian Pacific local T10 heads west through Lovkin, at milepost 155.6 on the Belleville Subdivision. CP GP38-2 7307 is returning to the yard in Oshawa, ON, with four tank cars. This locomotive is the former Delaware & Hudson 7307, ex-D&H 226, ex-D&H 7320, originally Lehigh Valley 320. In February 2003, 16½ years earlier, I photographed this engine in Albany, NY, painted in the then-current "Golden Beaver" scheme. (Newcastle, Ontario - August 25, 2019)

Passing one of the oldest Canadian passenger rail stations still in active use, VIA Rail Canada train 45 heads west through Port Hope, Ontario, heading to Toronto from Ottowa. Built from local limestone by the Grand Trunk Railway — one of the Canadian National predecessors — this station opened on October 27, 1856 (upon the inauguration of Montréal–Toronto mainline service). This train, comprised of LRC coaches and powered by VIA F40PH-3 6439, is one that bypasses stopping in Port Hope (the station for which is no longer staffed, although it does have a heated waiting room and restrooms).

Toronto Transit Commission Canadian Light Rail Vehicle 4085 heads west on the TTC’s 506 Carlton line, at the corner of Gerrard and Blackburn, trundling down Gerrard Avenue. These Canadian Light Rail Vehicles were constructed by Bombardier-predecessor Urban Transportation Development Corporation (UTDC) from 1978 through 1981. After nearly 40 years of service (beginning on September 30, 1979), the CLRVs will be retired soon – probably by the end of 2019. The iconic CLRV is seen passing an equally, if not more, iconic Tim Hortons! (August 30, 2019)

Amid a haze of blue diesel exhaust, Canadian Pacific's <i>Royal Canadian Pacific</i> train backs down the Canadian National's Bala Subdivision out of GO Transit's Richmond Hill Layover toward Toronto to load its passengers. A pair of FP9s, CP 4107 and 4106, are the power for this 13-car passenger train. (Gormley, Ontario - August 25, 2019)

GO Transit train 9204, heading east from Toronto's Union Station to Oshawa, passes through Bayly as it slows for the stop in Pickering. GOT MP40PH-3C 665 is on the headend of twelve matching commuter cars, all in the "new" paint scheme, which was adopted in 2013 - although, six years later, not all the equipment has been repainted. The GO train is passing under Canadian National's York Sub, which diverges at Pickering Junction on the Kingston Sub (just to the left out of this photo) and crosses over both the GO Sub and the Ontario 401 Expressway by way of the through truss bridge in the distance, heading for CN's MacMillan Yard in Vaughn, a suburb of Toronto.
