Telephone Pole
Title:  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.

CN 8809
Title:  CN 8809
Description:  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.

CN 4132
Title:  CN 4132
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.

CN 2342
Title:  CN 2342
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.

CN 2342
Title:  CN 2342
Description:  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.
