Another shot from "Dave Blaze's favorite spot that he's never been to" but looking north this time and with my favorite Northlander power ONR 1805. Yes, I kept the road in the frame just for you, ... (more)

Today didn't start off too well for 451 as it put some wheels on the ground at Pefferlaw early this morning. Fortunately it was only a single truck so after a few hours of aggravation she was on h... (more)

After a snowy morning the sun came out for the rest of the day, perfect conditions for shooting the afternoon Northlander passing the south switch at Martins.

Most unusual! I heard CN 595 saying they were going to hold at Martins for a meet with 697 and thought "why the heck not head down at least to Falkenburg, 697 won't be by for at least 90 mi... (more)

698 leans into the steeply banked curve at Utterson as the sun drops toward the horizon. Just two weeks ago the sun was too low in the sky here by the time the Northlander went by to get a shot wi... (more)

Saw this train heading north this morning as 697. Because of some operational problems somewhere between North Bay and Cochrane train service north of North Bay was replaced by busses, so the same... (more)

CN 450 rumbles down alongside Stephenson Road 7 between Allensville and Utterson.

Took advantage of the sunshine today and caught 697 coming around the south side of Lake Vernon approaching the south end of Huntsville. If you look closely back in the trees you can see the humpe... (more)

451 pauses under the Higway 11 bridges at the south end of town to uncouple 9 cars to drop at Huntsville Yard. 5771 leads 2 GE C40-8 variants today, new/old 2118 and cowl unit 2444.

On a blustery day the Tangerine Machine leads the southbound Northlander plus GO cab car 222 past the Mile 138 marker en route to Toronto. The snowmobile trail I'm standing on parallels Stephenson... (more)

698 leans into the bend approaching Huntsville Station, passing the large vertical tanks of the plastic pipe plant in the background. Is it just me, or does 1809's new replacement numberboard (as ... (more)

Coming down the hill from the north end of Martin's Siding, now known simply as "Martins", 4136 runs in to a bit of snow as it prepares to switch the Panolam plant.

Beneath these bridges rage the Bracebridge Falls, going full-tilt these days as no water is being diverted through the power stations which are gutted - presumably for turbine/generator refits. No... (more)

A very late running 451 has diverted the southbound Northlander onto the passing track at Martins. The derail protects the passing track and main from cars parked on the back track and the spur u... (more)

Crossing what used to be known as Thunder Bridge, 698 coasts into Huntsville. Interestingly enough the angled concrete bridge in the background used to be known as Thundering Bridge back in... (more)
