About jfriedrich

Just a small town guy that loves the thrill of the chase, and documenting some history along the way. There's just something about several thousand horsepower moving several thousand tonnes of freight. I'm not afraid to travel to get that new and different shot.

The Cayuga Clipper leans into the curve at Mile 112 of the Cayuga Spur. This was a shot I wanted to try for a while, and all it took was a bit of patience and timing. Who knew that 4 short months later OSR would pull the plug on the Cayuga. Anyone know the backstory on the 112 mileboard? Its not typical CN style and looks very similar to some of the N&W/Wabash style mileboards from their American lines. This ultimately would be the last run of the clipper I was able to catch.

GEXR 2073 on point of GEXR 581 as they charge northward at a leisurely pace of roughly 15mph outside of Hensall, Ontario after lifting a lone boxcar at Exeter, Ontario. It was quite the switching maneuver performed to boot. Here they are crossing over Walnut Road. Walnut Road is the first side road north of Hensall. A big thanks to my buddy Jamie Knott for fixing this gem for me, I still haven't mastered editing yet and am very slowly learning the basics. The original was slightly out of level and he also made a few other adjustments for me. I'm not sure what the species of tree is in the shot, but one can only surmise it might be a a Walnut since it's on Walnut Road.

After working the yard at Sarnia, M385 with a rag tag mix of power makes their way out of the yard at Sarnia for the St.Clair Tunnel. The tunnel runs under the namesake river. Upon emergence from the tunnel on the other side M385 will be in Port Huron, Michigan for the continuance of its journey. I took this shot on the west end of the VIA Rail station platform.

Next Stop Tillsonburg! With 1210 in the lead the OSR Tillsonburg Job crosses Green Line with their train in tow just west of the yard at Tillsonburg.

Westward Ho! OSR's Tillsonburg job has begun their day. Here they are with a pair of former CP SW1200RS' headed light power down the St.Thomas sub at Five Points Road near Putnam, Ontario. From here they will head into the CN Yard at St.Thomas, tie onto their train for the day and head east on the CN Cayuga Spur for Tillsonburg.

Here we have CN L514 on their weekly Saturday run down to Blenheim via the Sarnia Spur/Blenheim Industrial. Today on point were two of the classic GP9Rm's. CN 7025, and 4130. In this shot they have completed their work at Thompson's and are preparing to make their way to Thamesville on the CN Chatham Sub. On this day they were also to have work ADM on the north side of the tracks, but due to the blue flag being left up on ADM's siding and no one around to remove it unfortunately ADM would be passed up and have to be switched out on the next trip. Rumor's are abound that the future of the spur(s) in up in the air but only time will tell as the number of cars coming and going seems to be keeping steady or increasing for now.
