The visit of CP's Hudson #2816 - June 9, 2003
A wonderful opportunity to photograph this grand locomotive while parked at CP's Aberdeen yard,
as well as a few 'on the fly' shots in various locations.

VIA's Mimico Yard - May 23, 2004
The goal today was to track down Canadian National's business train, but no luck. At first it was reported at the Brampton intermodal yard, but after speaking with the supervisor there it was decided the train was here. Unfortunately it wasn't. So, I spent an hour or so getting these pics. A bonus was photographing the Waterloo & St. Jacob's train in CN's black & green livery with F3's at either end.

The Port Stanley Terminal Railway - August 1, 2004
Today actually started out as a bass-fishing trip in Waterford ('skunked!') and ended up as a railfan trip along the north shore of Lake Erie to Port Stanley. As you can see, there's a wide variety of equipment here, both in use and in storage. Thanks to the staff for allowing me to wander around the small yard to obtain some of these very unique pictures. And yes, that's a 'For Sale' sign in the window of #71.

Halton County Radial Museum - August 15, 2004
Highly Recommended!
Although I'm more a train buff, this is my second trip here and I've thoroughly enjoyed both trips. Not only for the possibility of riding some of the unique equipment but also because of the informal nature of the museum. Although I arrived more than two hours before it was officially open for the day I was encouraged to wander about the grounds and admire the static displays. Thanks to John (wearing the black t-shirt) for being my impromptu 'guide', and to the 'woman in coveralls' for your outstanding courtesy.
