While driving away from Garnet I tried a different shot. SOR 597 was making their way across the level crossing and CEFX 2014's cab was nicely framed in my rear view mirror on the truck.

CN 4534 and CN 4533 round the bend through Bayview Junction. They are about to exit the Dundas Subdivision and head towards Aldershot. On the right of the photo is a couple of young railfans...perhaps they could Mr. Adeney and Mr. Mooney? This photo is from my Great Grandfather Charles Bishop's collection.

<Oh the weather outside was frightful!/b>

This photo was taken almost a year ago at Copetown Ontario on the CN Dundas Subdivision. It was 3 degrees fahrenheit outside and I was cold! A little bit of snow had fallen the day before and as CN 148's headlight came into view down the line more snow had began to fall. The flurry didn't last long, but it was enough for 148 to kick it up a little bit.

Hopefully this winter proves to be a true Canadian winter, because nothing compares to a train in snow.

A farmer makes what would appear to be a very dangerous move at a crossing in Garnet Ontario. In reality the train is backing away from the crossing and the farmer is not putting himself at risk at all. This photo was taken at the SOR yard at Garnet Ontario

GOT 548, 547, 567 and 545 sit at Guelph Junction awaiting their next assignments. This photo is no longer possible because GO no longer uses Guelph to park their trainsets. Photo by Douglas Bishop added with permission of the author.

The conductor on RLK 4057 looks back at me as he rides the rear of his locomotive. He will have to throw the switch up ahead to run his locomotive back up the wye to collect his train.

Pictured is a joint bar on the CN Hagersville Subdivision. Every day the SOR runs two trains across this track. Their main commodity is fuel from the ESSO plant in Nanticoke and steel from the US Steel works also in Nanticoke. A joint bar holds together two pieces of track with four bolts in total. What is cool about a joint bar in this shot is that all the bolts are not facing the same way. This is done so that when a derailment occurs there is less of a chance of having the track seperate and made the derailment more severe. The joint bar in the photo was manufactured in 1947 and has seen many changes to this line over the last 65 years and will probably be around to see many more years of change.

While waiting for RLK 4057 to appear at Caledonia, I took the opportunity to do some creative photography. Dusk was approaching and the sun was providing some good light so I used the track to my advantage. The track to the left leads to Hagersville and the track to the right goes to Brantford.

Good fortune was with me this morning, a MOW crew had to be called to do some work on the main yard switch at Garnet which caused the crew of SOR 598 to not be able to start work until they were done fixing the switch. Here we can see SOR 598 waiting patiently on the main and the two workers discussing their options for the work.

SOR 598 awaits the removal of a restricting flag that is not allowing the crew to get to work in the yard sorting out the cut of cars from that nights work in Paris and Brantford. They returned with so many cars that they had to split their train in two in order to not block a crossing.

CEFX 2006 and two other sister units are sitting in the SOR yard at Garnet Ontario. The red flag at the front of the locomotive is there to protect a work crew that was the main switch into the yard at Garnet.

The Canada Southern Railway or the CASO as most knew it by was a railroad line that ran from Buffalo to Detroit. Pictured here is the CASO railway station at St. Thomas Ontario. In the foreground is some of the remaining track from the large yard that used to be in St. Thomas. Now it is all gone and torn up, but there is a group that is restoring the old station. Tomorrow what is left of the CASO in the stretch of Windsor Essex and Kent is going to be removed and the CASO days will be over.
