  1. GO Train with CN Tower in background

    GO Train with CN Tower in background

    A westbound GO Train is about to pass beneath me with the CN Tower in background.
  2. GO York University station

    GO York University station

    Not much for infrastructure fenced off walkway between two warehouses, not wide enough for two forklifts to pass each other. Aside from the cool sign, phone booth and schedule listing, I believe theres also a ticket vending machine closer to the tracks, as well as a bus booth and wheelchair...

  4. Toronto bound

    Toronto bound

    8:24am GO 808 Southbound commuter from Barrie enters Toronto by crossing Stelles Ave. Despite the short lenght, the rear of the train is over the CN mainline - on another bridge. The final, 4th morning train is running 3 minutes late. I'm still debating with myself if I should have taken it...
  5. CN 4700

    CN 4700

    CNs first GP38-2 is in good company: trailing a GP40-2LW (currently oldest on CNs roster) followed by a GP9RM predecessor. As you can see with each generation the cab gets bigger LOL. Sadly the GP40-2LWs were the last new Geeps on CNs roster. From MP 25.00 York sub June 29th, 2008 6:01pm...

  7. GO snake

    GO snake

    Most common piece of RR equipement in Toronto. Note the MOW machine in the top right corner. Photo taken from the CN tower. I tried the same with an inbound ONR train, but missed the power.
  8. GO 545

    GO 545

    During my short (10 min.) railfanning time at Toronto's Union station I managed to catch three GO commuter trains like this one, and got sight of the ONR Northlander before he hid inside the station. Needless to say I quickly became bored with them, you only need to see two trains before the...
  9. THB is alive...

    THB is alive...

    THB is well and alive... in Saskatoon? That's right, seen a couple of these THB hoppers already. Taking into account that the THB was taken over by CP in the late 80s its pretty remarkable its still around and not patched over by CP. Oddly enought I visited THB's home this summer: Toronto...
  10. Yep...CN 115 had 4 engines last night..

    Yep...CN 115 had 4 engines last night..

    Evidence as the 2 GEVOs heading up its eastbound counterpart. When 115 has 4 units, 2 return on 114, and the other 2 stay in Calgary. Alas, I missed 115 today. Anyway, this site alone is one to behold. CN ES44DCs 2220 and 2234 head up a late 114 on its trip to Toronto. Did I mention that I...
  11. Off to Winnepeg, and eventually, Toronto, I suppose

    Off to Winnepeg, and eventually, Toronto, I suppose

    Here, we see one of the Watrous subdivisions many Wood trains. These trains usually are 75% centerbeam lodas, with a mix of pulpwood boxes, and even a few covered gondolas that haul copper. This was probably the best shot I got all night. I saw 114 and a manifest with Wisconcin Central 2006...

  16. Congestion

    Congestion

    VIA 6408 awaits a signal behind another VIA train (seen in distance under bridge). The VIA in the distance is awaiting a GO to clear a block ahead of it. The 2 VIA's are heading over to TMC Mimico for servicing after their runs. 6408 came from Montreal overnight as the Enterprise as GO 533...

    VIA 75 lead by the 6420 departs Toronto's Union Station a little after 1600 on a Sunday in May, the skies had cleared up and 75 begins its journey to Windsor Ontario.
  18. GO 564

    GO 564

    GO 564 idles quietly on Track 2 at Oakville Ontario under threatening skies awaiting the clock to strike 1430 so he can take off eastbound with stops at Clarkson, Port Credit, Longbranch, Mimico, Exhibtion and Toronto.
  19. Snowy tracks near Union Stn.

    Snowy tracks near Union Stn.

    I took this from the cab car of an eastbound GO train (CN Opd) as we headed into Union Station. In the distance you can see a VIA Train F40 who a few minutes blew by us, scaring the daylights out of me.
  20. GO Leaving Toronto

    GO Leaving Toronto

    A go train leaves the mess of switches at union station in Toronto and emerges from the flyunder.
