Telephone Pole |
Description: |
Like medeival sentinals, thousands upon thousands of poles just like this one line CN track pretty well coast to coast. It probably served as a multi-purpose pole. I believe that these ones were planted when this section, of what is now CN Bala Subdivision, was built in the 1950s. Kind of a neat reflection on communication in the pre-digital era. And still standing resolute in the frozen marsh at Zephyr Creek. |

I got caught off guard and didn't have time to get on the 'sunny-side' of the train for a pic, nor set my shutter speed, but I wasn't unhappy with this trio of backlit pics in the morning sunshine. |

Symmetry in the Snow |
Description: |
It's only been about a two minutes since I buttoned up and trudged up the tracks, but the whipping wind has already almost obliterated my footsteps in the snow. |

Description: |
Catch of the day. I love these old GP9s that appear every once and a while on a CN freighter, still putting in a full day's work. I suppose in 50 or 100 years people will be looking at these the same way we view steam locomotives today. This beauty rolled off the line in 1957. |

Description: |
After catching the southbound freighter at Van Dorf, the clouds rolled in and a light snow started to fall. So it was off to Mount Albert where you can climb up on the highway overpass for a more panoramic view of the southbound trains. |

After leaving Mount Albert, I saw this train slowing down, so the chase was on. I just had time to catch this shot a few miles south at Warden Avenue, and it was worth the chase. |
