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

Whistler, BC

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

CN A438 holds at CN Howard with a pair of BCOL dash 9s. CP was having PTC issues and Conrail in Detroit wouldn't accept their train which blocked A438 from being able to leave. Normally this is a turn job that runs Windsor-London-Windsor, but because of the delay they would run out of hours in London that night.

 

Train: CN A438 with BCOL 4645 (C44-9W) and BCOL 4654 (C44-9W).

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.
