Another Labour Day weekend canoeing and camping trip to Algonquin Park found in the Canadian province of Ontario. The 2018 edition of our yearly trip into Canadian's wilderness involved exploring Tom Thompson Lake. To me the best time for photography in this wilderness jewel is right at sunrise.
An eastbound Canadian Pacific empty coal train passes below Skihist Provincial Park on September 25, 2015. On the other side of the Thompson River, a Canadian National work train continues loading fallen rock into Difco dump cars in CN’s never-ending battle with nature through this rugged and unforgiving piece of mainline between Morris and Lasha, east of Lytton, British Columbia.
A westbound CN potash train dips in and out of the numerous tunnels and sheds in the Thompson River Canyon just north of Lytton, British Columbia.
Our stop in Kamloops was only overnight but there was time to explore a little bit and one of the places we went was Riverside Park, where the North and South Forks of the Thompson River meet
South Thompson River as it passes Pritchard British Columbia.
If you follow the log barricade to the left you will see a small Llama. I only noticed it during processing.
... the Thompson River Crossing upstream... I was pleased to see the boulders strewn across the river upstream, because if the next time I arrive here and the water is high, I'll simply bushwhack up the river about 20 yards and cross there.

Providence & Worcester train WONR crosses the causeway over the French River in Thompson, CT with a good sized train for Plainfield.
Not the random collection of rocks it first seems, the largest rock has been carefully manipulated and wedged into position in megalithic times, the purpose being to line up a small natural hole through the rock with the midsummer solstice sunset over The Cheviot (the long 'slug' shape above the left hand side of the rock, with Hedgehope Hill above the rock's right hand side).
The rock, estimated to weigh ca 4-5 tonnes, was 're-discovered' in 1987 by David Thompson, a hospital radiologist.

A colorful mix of freight cars border the Thompson River as a CP Rail train glides through former Gladwin station, a site east of Lytton, BC. Perched on a cliff above the train is the narrow pathway BC Hwy 1.

A westbound UP oil train rolls up on the east end of Thompson, the highest point on the Rio Grande between Grand Junction and Green River, after climbing a steady 1% grade all the way out of Cisco; a relay-mounted searchlight still protects the siding. In the distance are the towers and mesas near Castle Valley, the furthest landmark on the right being Castleton Tower. Just behind them are the La Sal Mountains which lie directly west of the Colorado/Utah line.
Just North of Clearwater BC, the water sure is clear with the elegant deep blues and greens from the icefields in the Rockies. Passing the old station name of North Thompson which doesn't appear anymore on modern timetables, an empty coal drag bound for Alberta crosses a small bridge over the river the station is named after.

Thompson Peak, AKA “My Mountain” (but I’m willing to share), can put on quite the dramatic show during stormy conditions. This was captured at about 8AM in January 2021 as the morning sun was making what was ultimately a futile effort to burn through the low cloud deck. Like many high ridges that jut well above the surrounding terrain, this one forms its own clouds at the top and can look like it’s steaming when the wind blows across it.
I’m truly blessed to live near this great peak’s base so I get to watch its wonderful shows with some frequency.
Looking at photos of Utah and wanting to go back....
UP's Potash local rolling east along the ex D&RGW near Thompson, UT on its way back to Grand Junction, CO. An ex B&O GP40 & ex SSW GP60 power the train today.
One of the more famous spots to shoot in the Thompson River Canyon, it certainly doesn't feature the same power from back in the day, but it still features tons of trains. Going east on the CP side of the river, CP 200-15 has a pair of beaver rebuilds leading on a hot morning.
This image features Thompson Peak on the Plumas/Lassen County Line in Northern California, USA. This image was captured as moody clouds moved by in the aftermath of a November storm, just after sunrise. I loved the warm tones the early golden hour sun created in the image!
