I railfanned in a 2 places today, catching CN, CP, CEFX, SOO, BC Rail, & GCFX (WC). The reason I chose this shot, is because it's a regular train with nothing special about it, exept for the non-CN trailing unit.

It seems BLE 903 is now permanently stock in Canada, this time ttrailing CN 2401 on an eastbound lumber train.

Original GP9 in everyday service, running daily on the mainline. Sometimes long-hood forward.

Modern track inspection is ussually done in hi-rail trucks, like this one. While they look cool, they did replace the motorcars.

I was trying to get a "curve shot", but I zoomed in too much, coming up with this roster instead. VIA 6444 & 6435, both F40PH-2's, leading VIA #2, eastbound Canadian.

BLE 903, SD40T-3, rebuild ex-SP SD45T-2, trailing CN 5251, SD40-2(W). Sure looks pretty.

Curently CEMR owns 7 ex-CN GP9RM's and 3 ex-CP SW1200 series locos (or something close), yet all they send my way in CEMR 4001 & 4002, the GP9RM's I've been catching since 2003. Oh well, they do look good though.

DRGW, SD40T-2, tunnel motor has made it all the way to Canada, on a CN Intermodal. CN isn't big on foreign power, so this was a real nice catch, heading on an eastbound.

As the local returns from the cement plant, it's being passed by an eastbound. Power: CN 2626 & 2531 (Dash 9-44CW's) and an unidentified CN SD75I or SD70I. The power for the local: CN 271 (GP9 slug) CN 7267 (GP9RM)

Although I love the Dash 9's, the SD75I has got tought looks as well. Caught leading a westbound with the help of a SD60F.

Procor operates thousands of tankers and some hoppers, these been the cleanest I've ever seen!

This CN boxcar has a pretty nice grafifi job in my opinion.

What a pair! CN 5251, SD40-2(W), BC Rail 746, SD40-2, and a WC hopper. Looks like the have all the connections form coast to coast to coast.

SD60F, CN 5517, draper tape unit, leads a mixed train with the help of a Dash 9-44CW and a SD40-2.

Cut-down S-3 ALCO, CN 268, leads CN 7251, GP9RM, on switching duty. Notice the variety of cars, coil, autoracks, intermodals, boxcars, tankers, hoppers, gondolas, platforms...

The good thing about a mixed train, is that you can see anything, including garbage trucks.

I generally don't like intermodals, when I think that for every container there could of been a boxcar, but with good power and a wave, they're cool.

CN 2694, 2004 Dash 9-44CW is having his first winter, and thus froze up a bit... Leading an eastbound intermodal with a SD75I.

The CN mainline looking west. Autumn rain, winter cold and summer with a train in the distance. Mainline used by CN, BNSF, VIA, CEMR (shortline) and specials like AOE.
