A new sand transfer station in Wembley Alberta has leased GMTX 2201. I can't help but notice that there are four exhaust stack's bracketing the fan above the dynamic brake blister. I don't suppose anyone can shed some light on the heritage of this feature ?

CP 8878 east is rolling through KC Junction at the West end of Golden BC. In a hundred or so feet it will enter the Windermere Sub bound for Crowsnest Pass. The tail end of a westbound potash train can also be seen on the north track of the Mountain Sub.

JLCX 2100 is one of the strangest looking GP10 locomotives I've ever seen. It is on lease to the Gardiner Dam Terminal, a large grain elevator just south of Strongfield Saskatchewan.

For a couple of weeks in the summer of 2003 CP operating plans seemed to have the Guelph Jct Turn lifting the empties from ADM mill in Streetsville and the Stonetrain (Streetsville Turn) following closely behind to spot the load's. This presented an otherwise tough to come by opportunity to shoot light power on the ADM spur. I always found this little spur to be photogenic.

NBEC 1857 and 1866 lead a short local eastward out of Cambellton. Part source unit 1809 can be see in the background, as can the Via station. The NEBC railway is one I really wish I could have shot more of.

UP 5318 and 5486 bring a CP westbound to a stop at Moyie BC. They will make a sizeable lift from the siding (behind me) then will lift the UP 5502 (seen to the right) which was set off by a previous eastbound (UP 5373 East).

I'm not usually one to say "never", but I think is a consist one will likely never see again. On a cold but clear February 2004 day a combination 427/Ham-Turn passes through Guelph JCT with SD90MAC-H 9303 and GP9u's 8201, 8219.

This was the only train on the Oakville Sub that I ever put any effort into shooting. On this June 2003 day ONR's "Northlander" deadheads to Mimico to be turned for its departure later that evening. CN's station name sign Fort York can be seen left of the locomotive, while I'm standing at GO's Exhibition station. In the background a GO Train look's to be headed west towards CP's Galt sub.

CNW 8646 and UP 9621 lead NS 328 through CN's Hamilton West on a sunny June 30th 2005. A big thanks goes out to RP.ca contributor Marcus Stevens for taking a teenage yours truly trackside that day. 327/328 photos always seem to generate some good memories when posted here. I can say for sure that this was the juiciest 328 lash up I ever got on film.

There's no pot of gold to be seen beneath this double rainbow, just a few parked units waiting to go to work.

I'm not sure how many outhouses made it in to the zebra paint scheme, but this one survive's on the west end of the former BCR Dawson Creek Sub on the end of the former NAR. I was to go in for a closer look……..
