LSRC Y119 enters the main at Mount Morris as they depart from McGrew Yard just north of Flint. This was the first well lit daylight run of LSRC's newly painted SD70s at the time, which drew a fairly large crowd. The TR-2 signals here date back to either 1927 or 1928. In 1927 ABS was installed up to Mount Morris, and in 1928 CTC was installed from Mount Morris to Bridgeport by the Pere Marquette and US&S. Regardless, they're some of the oldest in service signals in the US and Canada currently.
Train: LSRC Y119 with LSRC 6431 (SD70M) and LSRC 6432 (SD70M).

With 3 grain hoppers for Shurgain and the rest being potash/fertilizers for the Agromart at Kellys, CN L568 heads for St Marys and eventually Kellys at Stratford West with a pair of classic "zebra" paint GPs. Stratford West (Formerly Stratford Junction) was where the former Brampton, Goderich, and Thorndale Subdivisions all met (the Drumbo Subdivision also came up into Stratford but at the east end of the yard). Today, the Brampton and Thorndale Subs have been combined and renamed the Guelph Sub, and the Goderich Sub is now operated by G&W's Goderich and Exeter (GEXR) which is the furthest track away in the frame. The Drumbo Subdivision to Paris Junction has been abandoned and ripped up for decades now. Stratford at one time was a fairly major location for the Grand Trunk and later CNR. The GTR built a large locomotive repair facility dating back to the 1870s. The current locomotive shop that stands on the property was built in 1907 or 1909 (Conflicting websites) and was one of the largest shops in Canada at the time. It has unfortunately been abandoned for decades now with seemingly no future plans on the horizon, although the building is on the heritage registry and is owned by the City of Stratford. Hopefully someone with the money comes in and is able to refurbish and reuse the structure.
Train: CN L568 with CN 4116 (GP9rm) and CN 4716 (GP38-2).

Staying high on the hills late in the day can have some superb advantages. In this case, apart from this couple the hills were empty of other hikers. Not only that but the low light painted the whole scene in a wonderfully warm glow.

Union Pacific DDA40X No. 6910 leads the WPV west through Grant Tower in Salt Lake City, Utah.
This landscape couldn't be more different today. CF&I's steel fabrication plant is long gone, replaced with high density apartments. The track alignment through Grant Tower was revamped in 2007 to expedite train movements through the Quiet Zone. The Union Pacific train depot is blocked by the retail and residential buildings of the "Gateway" development.
