  1. Lonely curve

    Lonely curve

    I wanted to catch a train on the curve, there was just no traffic. Oh well, maybe next time. Here's what it looks like with trains running: http://www.railroadforums.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=16546&sort=1&cat=500&page=10...

  2. CN OHIO crane

    CN OHIO crane

    1976 CN 50474, 40 ton OHIO crane pushed a platform, also pulling another one. Notice a MOW operator on the front. I got to observe this thing lay fresh tracks from the car it pulled, then travel the mainline to rest at the MOW depot. Quite an impresive piece of machinery.

  3. ONR IMS on CN Rivers sub

    ONR IMS on CN Rivers sub

    CN & ONR have a power sharing agreement, whereby CN gives them power for heavy coal trains, ONR in turn gives back whenever it can spare (or something close). Normally their units are capped in Northern Ontario, here however their newest power is taking an Intermodal out West! ONR 2105 is...

    My best shot?

    I think this is my best shot to date. The sky and two Dash 9-44CW's (CN 2646 & 2587) made it happen.

    CN GP9RM

    The view you'll see if you're being run over by a train. Shot from public property, obviously it wasn't moving. Looks a bit like a 2300 series ALCO with the short hood, round roof & no dithlights...

    GCFX trio

    Today when GE ES44DCs have taken over CN, while SD40-2s & SD50Fs are being retired in droves, its hard to believe that earlier this year CN was still leasing 50 Alstom SD40-3s, all ex-CN SD40s. Power policy sure changed quickly! Back in 2004 I managed to catch three trio sets working the...

    UP Trains meet at Dale Jct, WY

    Dale Junction, Wyoming, where the 1953 addition of #3 track joins the original doubletrack transcon. Here we see a westbound drag manifest on #3, and an eastbound stack train on #2 track.
