Description: |
The formidable face of an EMD SD70M-2. I thought this was the last I would see of this train, and headed over to the canal just as the cargo ship ALGOMA CONVEYOR was sailing by. |

Here's Train 562 again. After catching a ship on the canal, I was a little surprised to hear the train approaching the Welland River bridge - a good 2 km from the yard. |

CP 8834 |
Description: |
What a chase - that finally culminated in these overhead shots from Wilhelm Road as the train rolled off the connector track onto the shared CN main. I tried to get to Brookfield ahead of the train for what would have been pics with a much better sun angle, but missed it by moments. If you look really close, in the far distance - through the still lingering haze from the Quebec forest fires - on either side of the signal stand - you can see the two towers of the extant CN train bridge over the old Welland Canal. |

Big blue sky shot of CP freighter at Miller Road overpass. With my good camera still in the shop, I’m working with the old camera, and still getting used to the settings, but all things considered, it still does the job. |

My first encounter with the CP freight transfer was here, at the very remote Sherk Road grade crossing - where I drove over the tracks just to see if a train was in sight, and found out it was already approaching. |
