My summer sailing trip photos often include Toronto CN Tower shots .. though nature makes each one a little different.

Finally a day with sunlight. No luck finding any wildlife but at least I was not hit by a train.

With the escarpment impeding on the sun, CN 149 is about to take the curve at Milbase, seen here thundering past the switch to the glass lead.

Ancient 1920s built English Electric Z-4-a boxcab electrics depart from Laval Links with the 1640 Montreal - Deux Montagnes. These relics lasted until 1995, when they were replaced with multiple units.

CN FPA-4 6775, F9B 6618 and GP9 4105 are in charge of Windsor - Toronto train #146, as they approach the Denfield Road bridge, between Komoka and London. Fresh snow has fallen and the fast moving train had whipped it up.

CN's eastbound Petrolia wayfreight approaches Denfield Road, between Komoka and Hyde Park, led by dual-service RS-18 3121. It is running short hood first since there are were no turning facilities at Petrolia. The Petrolia branch, which left the CN Strathroy Subdivision west of Wyoming, is long gone.

Green meadows for the Green Machine...

 

CN L580 trundles along the Hagersville Sub at Onondaga, approaching Brantford with a green machine up front. Within the last month, BNSF has repaid horsepower hours to CN with a handful of four axle units, which were spread out between Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. Ex-BN GP38-2 2098 is currently a staple on L580 and 581, and so far has not shifted assignments.

On the evening of November 5th, CN ran a second section of L546 up the Uxbridge Subdivision to retrieve two heritage rail cars from Lincolnville, ON for delivery to MacMillan Yard via the Uxbridge, Kingston, and York Subdivisions. Another late night rarity on the seldom-run line to Stouffville.

October 6, 2018.

CN's Sarnia - Toronto train #86 approaches Denfield Road, between Komoka and Hyde Park, led by GP9 4575 and FP9 6531. Evidently something has gone wrong with the 6531, and Sarnia has added a freight-geared Geep for power. 65 m.p.h. maximum speed will mean a late arrival in Toronto.

Although a few GEs can be seen, Proctor is still a solid EMD base. Minorca limestone loads depart as an empty pellet train rests in the A Yard.

CN lead the daily Switch job back towards Escanaba
