Railpictures.ca - A.W.Mooney Photo: Something to wish for if you attend the CNET gathering (or RP members meet, if you prefer) on June 18th is to see all three tracks occupied at the same time by moving trains. It is not easy. Best chance, I would think, is in the morning, as featured here. CN freight heading up the Dundas on the north track; middle track has VIA #70 eastbound and south track has AMTK 201 #97 heading toward Niagara and the USA. Time would be around 0915. I think the AMTK was a few minutes late. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

It’s becoming more common now I see photographs into the late 2000-09 decade using film. Gotta say I feel film just gives photos a more captivating look. Nonetheless, I remember this time well, and had only been railfanning full on for about a year. Right in the heart of the recession. All the foreign power left by November, and CN retired a bunch of older EMD units, namely GP40-2W’s, SD40-2W’s and SD50F’s. As bleak as things were then, power variety was much more existent than it is now. Of course, the Amtrak was a little different, and the best you could hope for was a dual-mode GE P32-ACDM. Those don’t come down here at all anymore, but you got heritage units, which at least add some colour.
