Hagersville sub power (1757 and 3835) watch as CN 422 revs up for the grade out of Hamilton. Interestingly, the 3835 and 3856 arrived on the SOR at the same time, but the 3856 is still on the benc... (more)
"New" RMPX 9431 and RLK 4095 heading for the Hagersville sub after arriving from Hamilton
Usually this train runs under the cover of darkness on it's daily run from Garnet yard near Nanticoke to Paris and return. RLK 4057 - RLK 4205 - RLK 4095 with 37 tank cars.
Railink power 4057 and 3873 trails on the move over the Dundas Sub to Brantford. This positioned them in the lead for the move south over the Hagersville Sub. Note from this vantage point all thre... (more)

A splinter flock of geese come in for a landing as 5005 switches cars in the background.
Working the yard on a sunny day (for a change) with the ubiquitous case of bottled water chilling on the short hood.
I last caught 5005 at Nanticoke working the hydro plant back in May. Nice to see that 1808 survived the recent scrapping spree.
Winter has always challenged the fortitude of railroaders, and with gusting winds and frigid temperatures, today is no exception.
RLK 1359 and 1755 have just returned from Bunge and have switched out their short consist. It is great to see (and hear) this old SW1200RS still earning her keep!
