Another shot from "Dave Blaze's favorite spot that he's never been to" but looking north this time and with my favorite Northlander power ONR 1805. Yes, I kept the road in the frame just for you, ... (more)

After a snowy morning the sun came out for the rest of the day, perfect conditions for shooting the afternoon Northlander passing the south switch at Martins.

Most unusual! I heard CN 595 saying they were going to hold at Martins for a meet with 697 and thought "why the heck not head down at least to Falkenburg, 697 won't be by for at least 90 mi... (more)

698 leans into the steeply banked curve at Utterson as the sun drops toward the horizon. Just two weeks ago the sun was too low in the sky here by the time the Northlander went by to get a shot wi... (more)

An on time (30 min late) Northlander catches the last rays of of a setting sun.

Beneath these bridges rage the Bracebridge Falls, going full-tilt these days as no water is being diverted through the power stations which are gutted - presumably for turbine/generator refits. No... (more)

A very late running 451 has diverted the southbound Northlander onto the passing track at Martins. The derail protects the passing track and main from cars parked on the back track and the spur u... (more)

Crossing what used to be known as Thunder Bridge, 698 coasts into Huntsville. Interestingly enough the angled concrete bridge in the background used to be known as Thundering Bridge back in... (more)

Over three weeks since the winter solstice and getting hit by an early sunset along with a late train I decided to return to Bracebridge to see if I could get a shot of the southbound Northlander ... (more)

The Northlander, with 1809 shining in all its tangerine glory on the point, hits a brief spot of sunshine before the clouds reclaim the sky and begin spewing forth snow again. Check out that funky... (more)
