About rsd-17


I've been photographing trains in Canada since I immigrated from the U.K. in 1981. Currently I use an aging Sony Alpha 100 (the original Sony DSLR) and an LG G7 mobile phone. Most of my images are from southern Ontario (CP Belleville and CN Kingston subs.) I recently moved to Nova Scotia and I'm hoping to build a portfolio of images from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

The quintessential early 1990s CP Belleville sub lash-up (3 big MLWs and 4 SDs) crossing the Ganaraska river in Port Hope, ON on an eastbound. September 1993. Co-ordinates are for where I was standing to capture this shot.

CP SD40-2 #5674 leads two MLW M-636s on a westbound through the Newtonville S-curve. This is the more rarely photographed west end of the curve. September 1990. Back then it could be accessed from Elliott Road. With the construction of the nuclear waste dump and the windmill farm, that road is now private (and gated.) A determined railfan who tried to emulate this shot can get there from Lancaster Road or even Nichols Road then across country. The foliage has grown up, but last time I was there in 2008 there was still an angle that was unobscured.

CP MLW M-636 #4743 leads an unknown westbound train symbol westbound at Lovekin siding in this panned shot. Both conductor and head-end brakeman have me fixed in their gaze, and are probably wondering how I got there so fast after our previous encounter Stacey Road, Hope Township.

A D5 dimensional load at speed passing through Lovekin siding on CP's Belleville sub. The owner, Kasgro, calls this particular car a "12-AXLE FM" It's a 370 Ton 48' Straight Deck Flat Car, with a load capacity of 744,000 lbs, so this is a pretty serious piece of equipment.

Five big MLWs are about to pass the photographer just as a westbound VIA train pops out from under the private wooden bridge at the top of Woolacott Lane. The location is just east of the Wesleyville Road interchange on Hwy 401. Don't try this today :( The MLWs are gone, the wooden bridge is gone and Hydro put an ugly pole line between the CP Belleville sub and the CN Kingston sub.
