About Kevin Flood

I am from Kitchener, ON and have been photographing trains since 2000. I started with a Blacks point and shoot film camera then switched to digital in 2004/2005. I got my first DSLR in July 2007, and five years later, upgraded my camera to what I'm using currently - a Canon 60D.

The Spring 2020 Canadian Pacific Southern Ontario weed spraying train was back underway westbound at Zorra Station after being held for a few hours due to a track block starting from this location – mile 94.86 Galt Sub (work at this crossing if I recall correctly). The train was way earlier than I was hoping for that day, and at this point, the sun was finally shifting in favour of westbounds. Folks down in the Windsor area had the best light that day. Also of note is the structure in the background, which is now removed, making this my first and last shot of a train at this location (I doubt I’ll be back there again). SD40-2 #6045 provided the power.

CN 502 is pictured trundling along the Hagersville Sub at station sign Onondaga on a lovely spring afternoon. Power was CN 2443 and CN 3234 - a combination reflecting new and old CN paint schemes. Supposedly, 2443 suffered from a fire shortly after the date of this photo.

After not being able to shoot the ballast train down the Hamilton Sub with the two CMQ units (9020-9011) on April 13 (it was well-documented at least), I thought I would have my chance when the train returned to the area after re-filling in Sudbury. This was the day for that return trip; however, since CP has a tendency to be unpredictable with their operations, the train was combined with 246 at Lambton and there was no ballast dumping. Of course, to add insult to injury, two plain-jane GEs were the leading power. Nonetheless, I documented it, and heck, barely anyone was out for it! The following day would find the ballast train with the sole CMQ power dumping northbound under gloomy skies.

The CN and CP north end Hamilton industrial jobs meet just east of the Ottawa St. crossing on a spring late afternoon just over a year ago. The crew members on both trains give each other some friendly greetings, as the CP job pauses to let the CN job go through.

9 years ago today (March 30, 2013), the local CP transfer (T69 or T78) is westbound at Orrs Lake Hill just west of Cambridge, ON. A trio of matching GP38-2s were this day's power (3041-3032-3038) as a fellow railfanner (and good friend) gets his shot atop his vehicle. This year, as I'm writing this, there is still about 2 ft. of snow on the ground where I am.

Just west of Copetown, Ontario, a CN westbound is pictured cresting the grade with four units - CN 8825, BCOL 4618, CN 8003 & GTW 5934 - on a beautiful late winter afternoon.

One year ago today, I was out chasing one of the first CN 502s (then CN A402) down the Hagersville Sub, which was also the first time for me shooting a train down the line. It was also convenient being that I was living in the Hamilton area at the time. I got word that the train entered Canada with 4 units, one of them the 2115 and the other one of the CN military units. Based on their positioning, I knew at least one of the two interesting units would be on 502; the other two dropped off in London if I recall correctly. The afternoon was cold and windy with mostly sunny conditions, except after the train was west of Caledonia! The sky became 50/50 with sun and clouds. Luckily though, this train was slow enough that the clouds were not too much of a deterrent. This shot was taken as the train crawled towards its destination of Garnet. Fellow RP.ca contributor Rob Smith and a few others were in on the chase as well.

On a gorgeous late winter afternoon, The CN 15:00 Yard Job eases ahead with CN 4704 and CN 7038 as it crosses Burlington St. in Hamilton's Northend Industrial area.

Eastbound VIA #76 approaches Aldershot station on a fine spring afternoon in 2017. 2017 marked the year VIA first introduced these silver-wrapped locomotives, first in commemoration of Canada 150, then to celebrate VIA's 40th Anniversary in 2019.

Departing Exeter in the midst of a heavy snowsquall, GEXR 3030 is plowing snow as it slowly makes its way to Clinton and then eventually Stratford. It will work Hensall on the way. Thanks to Mr. Host who provided the transportation, I was able to snag many interesting shots of this train that day as it trundled through snowy landscapes and snowsqualls. Wearing snow pants was a must that day.

On the last day of 2014, what I think is CN 580 is pictured backing into place to switch out lumber cars. A current Google Maps search indicates this facility to be Rembos Inc., and the road in the foreground is Old Onondaga Road. Happy New Year everyone!

In December 2006, GEXR 432 has some export units from London's EMD plant in tow labelled as "EF Carajas". The units were bound for Brazil, if I recall correctly, and did not have trucks under them. Loads like these were common on GEXR when the EMD plant was still producing locomotives.

A classic power set is on the point of the 15:00 Yard Job as they switch Bunge in the twilight of December 17, 2020. CN 1408 and GTW 5849 was the other power.

Last GEXR train at Ampacet. In the twilight of a chilly fall afternoon in Kitchener's south end industrial/business area, GEXR 580 performs its last switching duties at Ampacet before the CN repossession of the Guelph Sub and associated spurs in two days from the date of this image. Power was SLA 3806 and QGRY 2008.

Taken at one of my favourite railfanning spots on the Galt Sub, a westbound CP stack train led by AC440CW #9736 is about to pass through the hamlet of Drumbo, ON on a gorgeous fall afternoon in 2008. I'm curious as to when double stack trains stopped using this portion of the Galt Sub after 2008. Currently, the only containers to be seen on any train on this portion of the Galt Sub are on trains 234 and 235, intermixed with other freight. There are currently no dedicated intermodal trains which use the Galt Sub west of Guelph Jct. Hopefully, in the future, these types of trains can return. There needs to be more traffic on the line!

CP 247 with CP 7021 and 8734 finally headed up the Hamilton Sub towards Guelph Jct. and Toronto at around 17:30 on October 17, 2020. The train took a long time this day, but that worked in my favour. It spent a long time at Welland and Kinnear; it also had to meet 246 and 254 at Kinnear. It finally departed Kinnear just before 16:30 and still took a while to get up the hill, and the train was not that long. After a nervous drive to get to Concession 6, and the shadows already starting to get long, I finally made it with more than enough time to set up, allowing me to walk in a bit from the road to get this shot. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

A CP westbound is pictured at the east siding switch Wolverton (Ayr, ON) on November 5, 2008. Power was relatively-new CP 8885 followed by SD40-2 #6028. By the late 2000-2010 decade, the CP GEVOs were beginning to takeover (older GE models -9600, 9700 and 9800 series - dominated); however, there were still a number of SD40-2s still in active service, often unfortunately, in trailing positions. Also note, this was the beginning of the construction of Wolverton Yard and the new signals.
