Another day with more EMD goodness leading 48 loads from GM Oshawa into G yard, kudos to the clouds for opening up a nice sucker-hole, I could get used to this...

RSOS plays a fun game of swap out at GM in Oshawa. The middle of a cut of frames being unloaded first making for a few extra moves.

Sighting of a Cave Swallow in Southern Ontario is not a common event; after all they are species from far south such as Texas, Mexico and the Carribean. Yet, last few days there were reports of them along the shores of Lake Ontario, between Oshawa and Niagara. A flock was probably pushed north by strong wind. So, when the opportunity came, I drove to McLaughlin Bay Wildlife Reserve in Oshawa to see one. It was flying around to pick up insects in the air and then coming down to pebble beach to rest and possibly for warmth from stones and sand. This is a life bird for me.

after meeting train 113 at the Oshawa siding, CP 8042 is solo on the head end of train 9-112 as they work their way eastbound towards Montreal passing under a cool steel/wooden bridge in some nice mid-morning light.
Woke up earlier than normal Saturday morning - so I decided to take in the sunrise, at Oshawa Harbour - and wasn't disappointed at all! Even managed to get the tiny sliver of the moon in this photo!

The first week of the G&W Oshawa switching ops is under way, and for the time being is about a 3-hour truck frame switching job under the cover of darkness. This is soon to change however, as a contract from CP for autoracks is in the works. Here we see a stopped RLK 4095 as the crew is just about to tie down the unit for the night.
