BCOL 4626 |
Description: |
Switching action at CN Port Robinson, as the crew puts together Train 531. It was here that I first got sight of delicious Draper Taper Dash-8 BCOL 4626 (the 4th last Dash-8 ever built, and the last of BCOL's purchases of this model in late 1993). |

BCOL 4626 |
Description: |
One of my all-time favorites - a Draper Taper Dash-8 - running solo on today's Train 531 out of Port Robinson. Note the oscillating headlights that the engineer has activated to accompany some fine horn-blowing, bell-ringing, and a friendly wave, on the roll-by. |

Description: |
I first saw BCOL 4626 idling at Port Robinson, then caught up to it later doing some switching - a single tank car being transferred from Southern Yard via the rarely used CN Humberstone spur. I didn't know it at the time, but I would only see the back end of BCOL 4626 in the sunlight today. |

I decided to venture over to the Oxyvinals plant, and was just in time to catch some fine switching action in the morning sunshine, as delicious LTEX 1001 happily rumbled along, switching the various hoppers that serve the sprawling complex.

In the "what's wrong with this picture" category I offer this unusual sight - CN 3026 leading a CP mixed freighter from the USA into Canada at Fort Erie. I can only speculate that CP is a little starved for power right now, and have borrowed the CN unit for the interim. |

Could this be my 'Catch of the Year' for 2018 - in January!?! What a nice surprise coming across the International Bridge from USA into Canada on Train 393 - in sparkling blue, gray, white, black, livery. First of 75 in Norfolk Southern's recent upgrade program. Rebuilt from NS GE Dash 9-40C 8799 in August 2015 (original build date January 1995). |

CP 9640 |
Description: |
My second entry in the "Catch of the Year for 2018 - in January" category, is this pairing of sister GE AC4400CW's - dropping off cars on the rarely used Stevensville spur. This was once the CP mainline to Fort Erie and the USA border, but was closed off east of Stevensville years ago, when the Brookfield Wye connector track was installed, allowing CP trains to veer onto the CN main. Even the brakeman joked with me about this unusual sighting: I have crossed this track almost daily since I moved to the Niagara Region just over a year ago - and this is the first time I have ever seen a train movement on this spur - now used only for storage as necessary. |

It's a friendly wave from the brakeman as they leave behind a string of empty hoppers on the rarely used CP Stevensville spur. |

Description: |
So long to sister GE units as they head back to Welland Yard after dropping a string of empty hoppers for storage. Note the deteriorated condition of the signal box - long out of service on the former CP main to Fort Erie. |

Description: |
Not satisfied with my sun angles at Brookfield - where I watched CP spot hoppers onto the Stevensville spur storage track - I bolted for the Welland Canal tunnel and was able to catch these sister GE units running light back to CP Welland Yard. |

CN 3026 |
Description: |
It's rare that I see only CP trains in my daily train chases, but today is one of those days. After the totally unexpected CP encounter on the rarely used Stevensville spur, it was down to Fort Erie for a little experiment. As the trains head into Canada, you can see the headlights on the approach to the International Bridge. Is there enough time after seeing the train to hop in the car, drive west to Central Avenue, park the car, hop out and run out onto the middle of the Central Avenue overpass before the train passes underneath??? The answer is a resounding YES - as I caught - once again - this unusual pairing of locomotives CN 3026 and CP 8813 (see my January 14th pics) on a CP mixed freighter - this time from the bridge. |

I think I got a big chunk of Buffalo NY in this pic looking East over the Niagara River from the new Central Avenue bridge in Fort Erie. |

After a short chase, and with the train really picking up speed after leaving Fort Erie, I hopped from the car just in time for some quick pics at Ridgemount Road crossing. |
