  1. Another Sunset shot

    Another Sunset shot

    When I started taking pictures, people whined about the lighting, so I started shooting from the other side of the bridge. Now all I get is Sunset shots! It get OLD after awhile! You can't even tell what the paint looks like on these things!! The 115 sports a pair of unCanadian locomotives.

  6. WC 6006 (SD40-2)

    WC 6006 (SD40-2)

    Three WC units after four years of railfanning CN's mainline... At least they're different types: SD45u, GP40, now a SD40-2! A WC GP38-2 should be next as they've replaced BCOL's beloved RS18CAT fleet on the coast and come through occasionally. Don't let the paint fool you - before becoming...
  7. Saskatchewan?

    Saskatchewan?

    With the right framing, Saskatchewan sure looks like remote Northern Ontario. Those steep hills, I mean flat Prarie, doesn't help. The last of this year's snow is melting away in the shadow, as freshly painted CP 5943 heads an Intermodal west to Calgary. 2:55pm CP 457 on waterbridge (MP...
  8. CP Saskatoon

    CP Saskatoon

    Perhaps I can talk my dad into making this his new fishing spot. There were fisherman and pelican's all over. With intermodal up front, 457 looks like a mainline train from the good-old-days (pre-1995/AC4400CW era), not the regional manifest he is. 2:55pm CP 457 on waterbridge (MP 111.5...
  9. Them bones

    Them bones

    I couldn't come up with a name for this shot, so just went by the song I was listening. The name fits well though: It seems like your stereotypical Prarie shot, something that could have been taken 20 years ago - A pair of SD40-2's leading a manifest. These engines however have been...
  10. You here often?

    You here often?

    I planned for a shot avoiding the fence, but not for 2 chubby men on bicycles. Note the endangered SD40-2, 5381. The SD40s seem very common the crack trains as of late.
  11. CP Molten Sulphur

    CP Molten Sulphur

    CN doesn't like to run molten Sulphur unit trains, preferring to stick a cut of 30-40 tankers on a manifest such as 346. Then again I have seen it once last year. The train was almost always parked @ CN's Fort Route yard (Winnipeg) when I railfanned there in 2003-05. This however is either...
