With engines from 2 other class 1 railroads (likely heading back to home rails) and a heritage CP 143 makes its way down the Winchester sub heading for Smiths Falls then Toronto.

CP 143 rolls into the north track at Smiths Falls with 2 WCOR Ex. QNS&L SD40-2's and a UP trailing. Just moments later it would swap crews and continue west.

I'm glad it swapped crews as the Montreal crew would've probably thought we were crazy to chase the train for more shots down the line. :)

5 hours after I got to the CN Kingston sub at Cardinal, only the 2nd CN train to pass heads West with a standard cab leading and in the 3rd position. This is CN 321 heading to Toronto with a lashup worth waiting for.

As the sun slowly sinks into the horizon CP 143 passes by Bedell Rd on the Winchester sub.

This used to be a double track mainline from Smiths Falls to Montreal but with a reduced number of trains using it (since the Chalk River sub was removed) CP has recently removed portions of the north track and left passing sidings such as Bedell here.

CP 5936 idles away in Smiths Falls after being dropped by 119 earlier in the week. CP 6024 is behind and was dropped off on a separate train a couple days prior.
The units would stay parked for a couple more days until they would be used to power yet another work train on the Winchester sub.

CP 112 breaks the silence as it makes it's way down the Belleville sub around Crow Lake on the final leg of its journey from Vancouver to Montreal this past weekend.
----
The view and angle here may not have been possible just weeks prior due CP clearing the sides of the tracks in the area recently.

CP 9-119 breaks the silence as it passes by Anderson Rd just outside of Tichborne, Ontario with the Smiths Falls yard units leading a 76 empty car train.

Although I have never seen this happen in the past couple years I've been railfanning I heard its actually pretty common to have empty, stored cars returned to service after with the yard units after the manufacturing facilities change their tooling for the next models of cars. That's for the autoracks at the tail end of this train. As for the baretables up front I can only guess it's for a similar reason.

Despite it never being confirmed I believe the power returned trailing on 112 later that night/ early the next morning to power the next F55 servicing the Omya factory in Perth.

A rare winter daylight CP 143 makes its appearance as its horn pierces the brisk December air as it heads west through Feldspar or Bolingbroke on CPs Belleville Subdivision on Christmas day.

Dual surprises.
Delivered in November last year CP 7021 leads CP 143 into Smiths Falls for a crew change while a CMQ geep idles away in the background awaiting its next assignment.

CP 8069 leads CP 142 into the Smiths Falls yard with a BNSF, CMQ and a SD40 trailing. It would later do work in the yard and pick up another SD40 that was previously on a work train.

CP 112 with a fresh looking CP 7050 stops at Tichborne just short of the main crossing to inspect a hot axle presumably caught by the hotbox at milepost 56.9.
This was unique as I had never caught a train stopped here before. I heard them setting off a bad order tank car in the MOW siding here a couple winters ago though. (I'm sure the conductor wasn't too pleased)

Last night found me at the old Smith's Falls station (now converted to a theatre) after my last day of work with my friend Blake. We arrived around 7 and thought we missed 143 but luck was on our side as the signals changed to green and the track changed to line up the Winchester after VIA 59 slowly rolled passed heading west. Soon after a train rolled in with tell tale signs of being a late 143. (All intermodal and 2 engines up front)

CP 143 passes by Wood Rd. just before entering the Smiths Falls yard.
Most of the north track is currently being removed with the exceptions being a few passing sidings as they convert the subdivision to CTC.
