After one of the last CN steam excursions to Fort Erie, CN 6060 returns to the Spadina Roundhouse after being serviced. Behind her, the old coaling tower looked nice but it hadn't held any coal for many years, 6060 had been converted to oil firing.

Under a starry sky, the headlight of the westbound Ocean illuminates the rail bridge over the Ristigouche River as it slows for a station stop at Matapédia. The shore to the left is New Brunswick, to the right is Québec.

With the westbound Ocean stopped at Matapédia station, the headlight of the Chaleur reflects off the stainless steel coaches as it arrives from Gaspé. The trains are combined here for the trip onwards to Montreal.

A wave from the conductor as the daily way freight passes by on the Geco sub, running up to GM's Scarborough Van Plant. The middle unit is 7100, one of CN homebuilt SW1200RM's. Although the Geco sub still exists, this track, these locos and the GM plant are all gone. Hope the crew are still with us.

At about mile 8 on CN's Grimsby sub is Iron Bridge, an old swing bridge over a disused section of the Welland Canal. The bridge dates to the 1890's, in the foreground are the limestone block walls of Lock 17 of the third Welland Canal, built in 1887.

The last pair of a Nedrail (Netherlands) order for ten JT42CWR (EMD Class 66) locomotives are test run on the Trillium Railway in May 2006. ITS Rail assembled the locomotives under subcontract to EMD, at the ITS Rail plant in St. Catharines, ON. The locomotives wait in Merritton yard for a Hamilton bound CN freight to clear so they can cross the Grimsby Sub and head south towards Thorold. Its unusual to see equipment built to the smaller European loading gauge alongside the somewhat larger North American rolling stock. In the background, a Niagara bound train crosses the bridge over the Welland Canal.

There used to be a pair of handsome old wood road bridges crossing over the adjacent CN and CP tracks on Nichols Road, Newtonville, about 50 miles east of Toronto. In June of 2001 an eastbound CP train of piggyback flats rolls slowly past the local fire department trying to put out trackside fires, likely caused by an earlier train. The lead unit, CP 9024, is an EMD SD40-2F, a locomotive that was unique to CP Rail.

On a pleasant August afternoon in 2004 I was In the far north east of Toronto where CP's Belleville sub crosses the CN York sub. Its a pleasant spot not far from the zoo, and on this quiet afternoon I could hear the animals calling in the distance. But I could also hear the distant call of two approaching freight trains as they whistled for grade crossings. Two westbound trains converging at the crossing, would I get the head end of both trains in the frame? Unfortunately, the CN train got there first while the CP (SOO) locomotives were about a hundred yards away.

CPR 2816 doesn't appear to be working very hard as it climbs the Niagara Escarpment, just east of Campbellville. It was on its way to Hamilton with an employee special train in June of 2004, part of a national tour for the recently restored Hudson, built by MLW in 1929.

On a murky evening in 1978, a CN freight train with MLW power heads west past Fort York in this view from Strachan Avenue. The train is about to cross the Wharf Lead that led south from Parkdale to the waterfront, originally the old Toronto, Grey & Bruce Ry. narrow gauge mainline to the Queens Wharf. On the north side of the tracks is the old Inglis plant, on the left is the CNE siding.
