Oshawa, Ontario.
Needed a stronger than ND10 to make exposure time longer than 30 second in the bright sunlight. Should've brought along another ND8.

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.

With all VIA Rail trains cancelled because of the pipeline protest, I drove to the Oshawa GO Station to pick up my daughter travelling from Guelph University and coming home for Reading Week. After 3 days of train bookings and cancellations for the Guelph to Cornwall destination, I decided to drive a total of 8 hours and bring my daughter home. Oshawa was as far East my daughter could travel by train, which saved me from driving through Toronto to Guelph to pick her up.

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.
