Hagersville sub power (1757 and 3835) watch as CN 422 revs up for the grade out of Hamilton. Interestingly, the 3835 and 3856 arrived on the SOR at the same time, but the 3856 is still on the benc... (more)

Railink power 4057 and 3873 trails on the move over the Dundas Sub to Brantford. This positioned them in the lead for the move south over the Hagersville Sub. Note from this vantage point all thre... (more)

After calling for a Rule 564 (return to train), CN 421 has put their 9500' of train back together and slowly make their way to Hamilton. The conductor has cabbed over to Hamilton Yard only to find... (more)

Duelling yard jobs: The crew on the left are switching out their consist before heading to Bunge, while the crew on the right switch out 421' set out and build 331's lift. Now, 1359 is paired with... (more)

Railink 1757 and GEXR 3835 have come down off the Hagersville Sub and keep 3856 company on a cold but clear morning. GEXR 3856 is still out of service, but hopefully with new trucks, APU and main ... (more)

Two anomalies of CN's widecab SD40-2 fleet: The lead unit has a hood from a donor locomotive after having an engineroom fire, owing to the unusual paint scheme. The trailing locomotive, 5277, is t... (more)

CN 394 rolls off the Dundas with an all-GE consist of CN 2440-BNSF 856-BNSF 630. At the time, BNSF power on 394 was not all that uncommon.

Winter has always challenged the fortitude of railroaders, and with gusting winds and frigid temperatures, today is no exception.

VIA 97 has priority on the Grimsby sub at the moment, with 339 and 338 both in the hole at Parkale and Millan respectively. The wind and the train are kicking up some of the freshly fallen snow le... (more)

CN 339 coasts up the connecting track (just ahead of 421) towards Parkdale, to let VIA 97 run ahead of it on the north track. There, it will cross over behind 97 so that 338 can continue towards ... (more)

RLK 1359 and 1755 have just returned from Bunge and have switched out their short consist. It is great to see (and hear) this old SW1200RS still earning her keep!

Sad. While 1200 has been stored for years, 4200 operated until the day she was scrapped. The Railink crew coupled to the 1200, shoved to the shop, shut down the 4200, and within hours they were dr... (more)

CN 398 rolls off the Dundas on an unusually warm Thanksgiving weekend.

If I had a 'people' filter, I'd be a millionaire. But until then, i guess i'll have to contend with these people enjoying the holiday train. That's CP 8717 on 254 in the background, and behind me ... (more)

CP 254 waits patiently for the CP holiday train and 247 to clear the south siding switch.
