Starting out over the CP's Shuswap Sub in fine evening light, CP 8160 and 8905 have a westbound coal train in tow as they cross the Columbia River at Revelstoke BC. Helpers include mid-train dpu 9889 and rear end dpu 9823.
CP 4707 is in charge of this Windsor-bound mixed freight crossing William Street in Chatham Ontario at mile 64.25 on the CP's Windsor Sub. It wasn't long after this that the crossing tower was removed. The CP's brick and cut stone station in the background was also dismantled, moved and rebuilt and still remains today.
CP westbound freight about to enter Lobo siding for a meet with an eastbound. Power is a work-stained pair of MLW M-636s, 4738 and 4743, both wearing their original paint with the narrower stripes front and rear.
Denfield Road bridge is visible in the background.
CP T10 - CP 6243 & CP 4407
After a looong wait all day from first hearing about a chance to see a SD60 in good light. I set out to wait it till the sun was gone. Nearing 8pm they cleared signal Port Hope east and I was about to shoot it how I planned. Somehow, with my luck I managed to bag it.

CP train 2-498 shoves their 10,000 ft. train into the yard at Dunn. They had to take headroom up thru Red Rock.
Elephant style in the low evening sun, CP 5549 and helpers 4565,4739,4741,4720, lead a westbound across the Trent River at mile 102 on the CP's Belleville Sub. Fellow rail photographer, the late John F. Bjorklund, was with me on this weekend trip.
CP 3117 plus three other units depart the yard at Wolverton with empty autoracks for loading at the Toyota plant in Hagey, in the north end of Cambridge.
Beim Frühstück unweit dieses Fotomotivs hätten wir wohl noch nicht geglaubt, dass uns mit IR 861 ein Sonnenfoto gelingen würde. Tatsächlich riss es aber langsam auf, und während die Bewölkung und Nebelschwaden noch vom Regen der Nacht und der letzten Tage zeugen, zieht die 1429 ihre drei Wagen entlang des Douro Richtung Pocinho.
At breakfast we didn't thought, that the first picture of the day of the IR 861 would be during sunshine. Actually the cloud holes were rising bigger, and when the train arrived at the spot, sun was shining. As the clouds and fog are witnesses of the rainfall of the last days and nights, the 1429 of CP hauls three wagons along the Douro with destination Pocinho.
CP 223 has a trio of GEs (CP 8604, CP 8845 & CP 8059) as it crosses the Eastman trestle with a long train.
CSX M327 is westbound at CP 487 with a pair of rebuilt SD70MACs passing the US Steel Midwest Plant, formerly National Steel, outside of Portage, Indiana.
A CP AC4400CW and a KCS SD70ACe team-up to pull a long Mexico City bound manifest train, the pair are seen notching up to gain speed as they leave mountainous region behind and start the long straight stretches of track and flat territory that will take them to the city of San Luis Potosi
Snow-covered CP 8605 brings up the rear of CP 112 as it approaches its terminus of Lachine IMS yard.
CP 9022 pulling into Walhachin where the crew will tie up for the day after working the slide areas in the Thomspon Canyon.

CP 2265 & 2267 bring 18 cars into Wisconsin on the beautiful morning of April 20, 2019. This CP transfer was running from Rice's Point in Duluth to Stinson Yard in Superior. Great day for a walk up to shoot the ECOs rolling off the Grassy Point bridge with temperatures above 70 degrees on this past Saturday. Saw on Twitter that before Saturday we went 207 days since our last 70 degree day, according to Duluth NWS. Easter Sunday and today it was back to reality with temps. in the 30s-40s with rain/clouds.

Ponad pięćdziesięcioletnia lokomotywa CP 1461 z pociągiem IR 21860 z Pocinho zbliża się do stacji końcowej Porto São Bento.
Porto São Bento to stacja czołowa oddana do użytku w 1916 roku, zlokalizowana w centrum miasta. Wnętrze budynku dworca jest bogato zdobione płytkami "azulejo" przedstawiającymi historyczne wydarzenia Portugalii.
Lokomotywa na zdjęciu jest jedną z sześćdziesięciu siedmiu lokomotyw spalinowych powstałych w latach 1967-1969. Pierwsze dziesięć sztuk powstało według projektu English Electric w zakładach The Vulcan Foundry w Anglii. Pozostałe egzemplarze zbudowano w portugalskich zakładach Soreframe na podstawie licencji. Serię 1400 zaprojektowano w oparciu o serię brytyjskich lokomotyw class 20.
Zdjęcie wykonano z najmłodszego mostu łukowego na rzeką Douro "Ponte do Infante" łączącego Porto z Vila Nova de Gaia.
CP Extra 5735 East cruises through Belle River Ontario at mile 94.1 on the CP's Windsor Sub. Better times on the CP, for sure.
CP 7460 and 7470 bring 577 across the Mississippi River at Camden. It was nice to see a pair of these units however only 2 miles later, the second unit would get setout at Humboldt yard and the usual 1x1 setup that CPKC adores would continue on westward to Glenwood.
CP 6222 and 6043 were in charge of a CWR dropping rail on the Paynesville Subdivision yesterday. Love the look of the new CPKC paint scheme, it works well with these SD60s. It's also neat that everything on this train looks brand new, including the cars and the rails.

The only red GEVO in the lineup, which doesn’t make it any better, but means you’ll only have to close your eyes once ;). In all seriousness, with conditions like this, I mostly just pray it’s not a pissbrick because just about anything else can be managed.
By now, many of you should be familiar with these trains. As of right now, the CP traffic makes up about two to four out of every 10 trains on the Portland Sub. Obviously this number fluctuates month to month, but it’s safe to say that roughly 20% or more of all traffic comes out of Eastport. This number has risen quite a bit in the past few years.
Back in 2018, Canpotex—the company that produces and ships potash out of Canada—completed a $150 million upgrade to Terminal 5 at the Port of Portland. The company said the upgrades would result in a capacity to export up to 7.5 million metric tons of potash annually. In August of 2024, UP published on their website that they had completed a record number of shipments of potash out of Terminal 5 in the second quarter of the year, but it gave no official numbers. The only statistic given was that Portland exports roughly 20% of Canpotex’s annual potash supply, which is “more than 13 million tons.” This didn’t seem to add up, or perhaps they were old numbers on their website, so I did some more digging. On the Port of Portland’s website, I found yearly export statistics going back to 1994. In 2024, listed under “Mineral Bulk Tonnage,” the port exported 7.59 million metric tons (8.37 million tons) to ocean going vessels. This was the third time they have eclipsed 7 million metric tons exported, and the first time since 2019. However, I’m unsure if this includes the soda ash trains out of Wyoming that are exported through Terminal 4, and being unsatisfied with the answer, I did some basic calculations.
Based on information I have, the trains run in sets of 189 (UP’s website says 188, but their computer says 189, so who knows) and are roughly 27,000 tons each. Numbers I found say that they export “more than a dozen trains per month”, which means UP probably exported somewhere between 4 million and 6 million tons of potash through Terminal 5 in 2024. That puts the train count somewhere between 15-18. I’ve also heard Canpotex wants to increase the train length closer to or even over the 200 car range, which would push these trains to 9500 feet in length. I’m a numbers guy so I found this all to be fascinating, though perhaps some of you find this to be rather abhorrent.
As for the grain trains, like the one pictured here, it’s harder to find information. Unlike the potash trains, these do not come from a single customer, and I would assume they come from all over the CPKC system. Perhaps someone out there has more information about how this handoff works or how the contract for these trains work, if that information can be shared.
