Hamilton Industrial railroading at its best. RLK 1755 and SOR 1359 wait inside US Steel's massive Hamilton Works plant, formerly Stelco, for clearance to go switch some gondolas in the plant. Noti... (more)

Swinging around some tight industrial trackage that makes up the heart of Hamilton's rail scene, recently reactivated SOR 1359 leads GP10 1755 out of Railcare's yard after dropping off two cars fo... (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.

VIA 97 has priority on the Grimsby sub at the moment, with 339 and 338 both in the hole at Parkale and Millan respectively. The wind and the train are kicking up some of the freshly fallen snow le... (more)

CN 339 coasts up the connecting track (just ahead of 421) towards Parkdale, to let VIA 97 run ahead of it on the north track. There, it will cross over behind 97 so that 338 can continue towards ... (more)

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!

Sad. While 1200 has been stored for years, 4200 operated until the day she was scrapped. The Railink crew coupled to the 1200, shoved to the shop, shut down the 4200, and within hours they were dr... (more)

If I had a 'people' filter, I'd be a millionaire. But until then, i guess i'll have to contend with these people enjoying the holiday train. That's CP 8717 on 254 in the background, and behind me ... (more)

CP 254 waits patiently for the CP holiday train and 247 to clear the south siding switch.

It may appear that 4107 is leading into the yard but actually 4700 is leading out and there's just a stiff and bitterly cold tailwind at work here.

RIP: This old geep along with 4 other SOR units (3 geeps and an SW1300B) succumbed to the scrappers torch a month or two ago:-(

raiLink 1755 works the yard with SW1200RS 1359, which I believe is the last remaining end-cab here. 2 went to Sarnia, another was scrapped on site along with 7 geeps (4-SOR, 3-GEXR). Thanks to Dan... (more)
