About Stephen C. Host

I've been into photography since 2001 - but like many others grew up interested in all things railway from an early age. I reside in Guelph, Ontario, Canada and currently use two cameras: Nikon D800, and a Nikon D90 (Backup or videos only). Prior Nikon cameras include D60, D70 and D100, and a F65 for when I dabbled in Film (Kodachrome/Fuji Velvia and Provia). Lenses used tend to be either 70-200 F/2.8, 50mm/1.8, or 16-35 F4 (Until 2016) and a 18-35 F/4-5.6 (2016+). I acquired a 80-400 Nikkor which I've been playing with and after some trial and error and a free repair by Nikon it is producing nice sharp results. Professionally - I am an Engineer (P. Eng. - Computer) for a large automotive concern. I also freelance as a photographer with the Canadian Press and their affiliates (AP/etc.) since 2009.

CSXT 2690 on train D724 is on the former siding of the No. 1 Subdivision at Blenheim, Ontario lifting grain traffic. The train originated earlier that day in Chatham, Ontario, and will run to Sarnia to complete a round trip servicing the Agricultural industries of Southwestern Ontario. This line has since been sold to CN.

$<b> Good Morning: </b> Goderich and Exeter #432 is eastbound in the morning hours as Kent. St. Residents head to work. Kent St bisects the Guelph Subdivision on either side of the railway, but is seperated from the road. In the 1850\'s when the Railway was built, Kent St was likely already established as limestone constructed homes exist here that predate the Railway.$

$Goderich and Exeter Train 580 is southbound (RLK 4001 in the lead) on the former CN Fergus Subdivision (nee Huron Grey and Bruce Railway and extension) in Guelph having finished work in the North Industrial and is about to enter the former Great Western Railway section of trackage. The merger and extension of these railways (under the Grand Trunk) in the late 1870\'s created the \'dip\' in the Fergus sub in Guelph as you can see in maps of the area (google maps: edinburgh and paisley rd, guelph).$

<b> Last train </b> GP9 # 8200 is leading the very last CP Train #142 heading east on the Galt Subdivision with automotive frames from the Formet (Magna) plant in St. Thomas to the Oshawa truck plant. The next day, this train was abolished in favour of a Woodstock to St. Thomas local.

<b>Tattoo You:</b> CN 7075 has entered Clarence St and is running against the flow of street traffic, protected by a traffic light interlocking mechanism which was actuated earlier by the Conductor. This wide angle view shows the intersection of Clarence St and Colborne St.

<b>Don't walk: <br> CN 580, led by CN 7075, is patiently waiting while the Conductor activates the crosswalk and interlocking mechanism to stop road traffic before proceeding. Once the lights turn red and traffic clears the intersection and road, 580 will proceed against the flow of road traffic within Clarence St to access various Brantford industries
