A late departing CN 559 negotiates the winding curvature of the Halton sub through Halwest following the block of 421 as they cross over to T3 to work some industries about a mile or so west of me in the Bramalea area.

In September 2020, I made several day trips to the Bessemer to shoot the daily ore train with IC SD70's, just thinking that something is going to happen to these standard cabs eventually. The change wasn't long in coming. One of the classic Bessemer shots that was much more elusive than it should have been is this view at the Orr Rd bridge near Mercer. We've all been there, didn't plan correctly, CF'd at the last minute, ... Third time was the ticket on 9/23/2020

CP 119 through Cherrywood with a odd choice of power! Pair of CN gevos leads the way from Mtl with a huge string of solid auto racks.
