BCOL 4642
Title:  BCOL 4642
Description:  Pine Orchard siding. First time I've seen a CN freight on this line without a CN locomotive leading. And this unit was running solo. I expected to see distributed power, but not on this intermodal.

CN 8874
Title:  CN 8874
Description:  I was hoping to get a shot of the last Ontario Northlander, but got this CN freighter instead. The sun would soon be gone at this location by the time the Northlander finally arrived, so I headed for the only place where I knew I could still get some sunshine - at the Bethesda Road crossing.

CN 5735
Title:  CN 5735
Description:  Bethesda Road crossing. I chased this train from Mount Albert, and was really surprised when I saw the Ontario 'Northlander' waiting at the Quaker siding (just behind this train). So it's off in a mad dash to try to catch the empty out-of-service 'Northlander' at Warden Avenue.

ONT 1809
Title:  ONT 1809
Description:  BUT WAIT! How about a rousing encore for the Northlander!?! I didnt expect to see this train ever again, but wouldnt you know it, after catching an incoming Saturday morning VIA train at Pine Orchard, then a CN freight at Herald Road, I stumbled onto the Northlander waiting at the Quaker siding and knew that I had not one moment to lose if I wanted to get a shot of her in the sunshine. I chased her (and I mean chased!) from Stouffville to Van Dorf, and just barely had time to leap out of the car, and snap this shot of the empty train as it hit the grade crossing at Warden Avenue - destined for its home base in the great Ontario north.
