A nice selection of power lounges at Agincourt. Visible are SD40-2, TH&B GP9, RSD 17, RS18, SD40, and an M636

1984 heads west then north for North Bay. The cars are a former Swiss Trans Europe Express 3 car set. The original power unit was changed when it couldn't cope with Canadian winters.

The one of a kind "Empress of Agincourt" between transfer runs to LAmbton Yard in west Toronto. Nice to see her before they chopped her nose. Scanned form a slide.

Best tagging job ever, or a touch of the"burn"?

Waiting for work at CN's yard. CN was using quite a few BCR SD 40-2's at the time as payback for CN power on the newly opened Tumbler Ridge coal project

Exhaust reverberates off the mountains as 2 SD40-2F's and a brand new AC4400 pull 6000 feet of grain empties up the "Big Hill"

The former Trans Europe Express heads north. The FP9 replaced the original matching unit that couldn't cope with Canadian winters.

One of 6 SD40-2's painted up for Expo 86 in Vancouver heads into the service bay at Agincourt

Waiting on the shop tracks back when stripes ruled the railroad. Last of the SD40's with the brake cylinders between the wheels instead of above where they all are now.

There is something so majestic about the twists and turns leading to the Spiral Tunnels in Yoho National Park. Grain empties climb the "Big Hill" behind 2 SD40F's and a nearly new AC4400.

Out of storage temporarily, 3228 trails on an eastbound. I don't miss riding them, but I miss seeing them
