My summer sailing trip photos often include Toronto CN Tower shots .. though nature makes each one a little different.
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.
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.
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.
VIA train #43 'Capital', passes Leeds West and approaches Gananoque, led by CN-liveried FPA-4 6790 and F9B 6634. The first five cars have come from Ottawa; the last four from Montreal, joining up at Brockville.
CN 3069 sits in Garnet Yard after trailing on CN L502. It would lead L501 back to Sarnia in darkness.
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.
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.

Ancient 1920s built English Electric Z-4-a boxcab electrics depart from Laval Links with the 1640 Montreal - Deux Montagnes. These relics lasted until 1995, when they were replaced with multiple units.
CN 435 has a pair of old Dash 8's for power today in CN 2423 and CN 2438 as I stand on the Beth Jacob Road bridge on a very cold day here in southern Ontario.
Green meadows for the Green Machine...
CN L580 trundles along the Hagersville Sub at Onondaga, approaching Brantford with a green machine up front. Within the last month, BNSF has repaid horsepower hours to CN with a handful of four axle units, which were spread out between Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. Ex-BN GP38-2 2098 is currently a staple on L580 and 581, and so far has not shifted assignments.
On the evening of November 5th, CN ran a second section of L546 up the Uxbridge Subdivision to retrieve two heritage rail cars from Lincolnville, ON for delivery to MacMillan Yard via the Uxbridge, Kingston, and York Subdivisions. Another late night rarity on the seldom-run line to Stouffville.
CN 9453 is in charge of train 422 as it passes the old station at Glencoe Ontario. Helpers include CN 2506, 9419 and 9441.
CN 395 grinds upgrade at Copetown with CN 5794 leading the charge and 172 cars. Of note, recently reactivated BCOL 4620 trails third.
CN 2454 leads eastbound train 306, as they crest the hill after entering the Pelletier Subdivision, approaching Fourchue. Some nice Fall colors are in the area.

CN FP9 6519 along with F9Bs 6617 and 6619 are in charge of the twelve cars forming Toronto - Windsor train #159. The location is the long gone trestle bridge where the Pulham Road crossing is today, east of Komoka.

CN A422 led by a pair of CN ES44ACs hauls a trio of Ex-Norfolk Southern SD70Ms for Ontario Northland down the Stamford Sub with a string of stacks up front.
CN 5665 & CN 2204 lead CN 377 under a signal bridge as it approaches Coteau. There they will have to set off 5 cars as it was discovered that the train was too long to run conventionally (i.e. without a DPU).
