Jack Oomen's 3 photos on Railpictures.ca:

In the dying spring light CMQ 9020 and 9011 lead GPS-16 as they lug it up the grade south of Tottenham. Photographing trains is something I wish I could do more often. I adventure out so infrequently that I can just barely call it a hobby. I am out so little that the last time I saw an SD40 of any kind was close to 7 years ago, just as CP began to purge much of their fleet. So, when I caught wind that 2 blue barns would be leading it was trackside I went. Soon a distant cry of a Nathan K3L rang off the shallow valley walls, and not long after the echo of 645s approached. A headlight crested the small hill and 2 of GMDs finest made their presence known. With mixed freight and a loaded ballast train in tow, they are down to about 10 miles an hour. While the glory days of fast freight and priority trains may be over for these old soldiers, they now earn their keep on the trains that keep the railroad running.

SSR 703 is south of Mill street for the first time I've seen. There was some interesting switching action going on, had to pull out some old wooden box cars for some maintenance. Both SSR 703 and 22 were running so you could say it was pretty action filled day. Just another day on the railroad.

A crossing guard stands watch as the engineer of South Simcoe Railway 136 sounds the whistle. She is seen here crossing the 5th line, and heading south on the old Beeton Sub to Tottenham station to finish the day.
