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.
A CN oil train rumbles through Juniper Beach Provincial Park. The park is located on the north side of the Thompson River west of the town of Savona and protects the dry sagebrush and desert ecology of the area.
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.
With work completed at Thamesville, CN 7071 rolls westward over the Thames River with train 514 at mile 47.6 on the Chatham Sub.
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.
Approaching Henry House, CN 3177 heads up this eastbound container train at mile 226 on the CN's Edson Sub.
CN 327 with CSXT 3194 in the lead (with its white and blue nose) is being passed by a blue and white Nissan as both cross the Beauharnois canal on the Larocque Bridge.
After tying down for the day, R960 power, with a former GTW unit still in Burdakin Blue stands by as A407 with a pair of former IC units, one of which still in deathstar passes by as they head north through Kankakee heading for Kirk Yard.
Approaching the mile 11 marker on the old C&O's Canadian Subdivision No. 2, CN 7071-514 trundles down the Sarnia Spur with a cut of cars for the mill at Blenheim.
CN 185 with the CN 3974 rounds the sweeping curve and are about to duck under the 407 at Halwest with roughly 8500' feet of stacks that are taking the long way due to a brutal derailment up North that euchred some 12 miles of track, could be a lengthy clean up process.
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.
CN train 148 crosses the Grand River in Paris, Ontario with a pair of BC Rail Barns leading the way.
An all-MLW lashup, C-630M 2003, C-424 3206 and RS-18 3107, is leading a long westbound freight as it approaches Komoka diamond.

Finishing this two part series we see the beautiful figure of an SD40U coming back through Eagle Mills light engine heading towards Partridge after dropping off Tilden Mine cars at the LS&I.
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 L551 has copied a pass stop at Milbase in order to return to their train after running around. They would roll back to Aldershot shortly after.
CN 395 grinds upgrade at Copetown with CN 5794 leading the charge and 172 cars. Of note, recently reactivated BCOL 4620 trails third.
Hard to believe but this was my first blue BCOL C44-9W leading on a train. In all of my years of photographing trains, this was one of the most elusive units for me to capture leading.
Today was a pretty crummy day for myself and some time trackside was needed to clear the mind and BCOL 4645 did a pretty decent job at helping with that.
