CN 8821
Title:  CN 8821
Description:  The formidable face of an EMD SD70M-2. I thought this was the last I would see of this train, and headed over to the canal just as the cargo ship ALGOMA CONVEYOR was sailing by.

CN 8821

Description:  Here's Train 562 again. After catching a ship on the canal, I was a little surprised to hear the train approaching the Welland River bridge - a good 2 km from the yard.

CP 8834
Title:  CP 8834
Description:  What a chase - that finally culminated in these overhead shots from Wilhelm Road as the train rolled off the connector track onto the shared CN main. I tried to get to Brookfield ahead of the train for what would have been pics with a much better sun angle, but missed it by moments. If you look really close, in the far distance - through the still lingering haze from the Quebec forest fires - on either side of the signal stand - you can see the two towers of the extant CN train bridge over the old Welland Canal.

Title:  CP 8710
Description:  Big blue sky shot of CP freighter at Miller Road overpass. With my good camera still in the shop, I’m working with the old camera, and still getting used to the settings, but all things considered, it still does the job.

CN 3866
Title:  CN 3866
Description:  I just missed by moments the train leaving Port Robinson yard, and chased it to Buchner Road where I hobnobbed with a friendly CN work crew who were finishing up some signal sensor tests - just before the train arrived. Just one worthwhile shot, but it certainly made my day.

Description:  I headed over to CN Southern yard - where I knew this train was heading, and caught a few shots as it entered the yard. I didn't stick around because there was a large CN work crew at the new signal shack.
