http://tracksidetreasure.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 24, 2015. The Skeena River at Mi 28 CN Skeena Sub. On vacation, I read Whistle Stop a Journey Across Canada. For my annual Canada Day post, I connected the RCMP with Canada's railways. My 2013 Canada Day post includes links to each previous Canada Day post. If you'd care to reminisce and wallow in Canadiana! From the steps of the BC Legislature in Victoria, 1980. Vestibule View of VIA No 1 near Exshaw, AB. Maple Creek, SK from the Park car of VIA No 1, 1985. CN Watrous, SK elevator track.

Trackside Treasure: August 2015

http://tracksidetreasure.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 31, 2015. Montreal-North Bay, September 1985. We have just crossed the CP at De Beaujeu (top photo), which is Mi 35 of the CP Winchester Sub, and north of Glen Robertson on CN's Alexandria Sub at 1026. The CP track was important to capture, but moreso those classic Service cars! Passing through Maxville at Mi 34 of CN's Alexandria Sub, the station and feed mill loom over the rear of the Skyline, where I'm perched. Arrival at Ottawa at 1150 and a quick departure westward at 1200! That meet ...

Trackside Treasure: Kingston-Toronto Return Trip, July 2015

http://tracksidetreasure.blogspot.com/2015/07/kingston-toronto-return-trip-july-2015.html

Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Kingston-Toronto Return Trip, July 2015. Just like a year ago. Was just outside the south side window (above). BCOL 4601 was the middle unit on a westbound intermodal, likely No 121, during its crew change at Belleville (below) looking out the north side window. Yard power CN 4018-7038 was resting at the yard office. At Toronto's Old City hall, an ALRV heads west past the cenotaph. A nice blend of modern and classic:. Three commemmorative UP pins for $18?

Trackside Treasure: December 2014

http://tracksidetreasure.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Christmas on the Cataraqui Spur. First we had to get our priorities in order. That meant one thing.Tim Horton's drive-thru. During that wait, we ascertained that 518 was on Queens service track, having worked the remnant of CN's Aluminum Spur. Which has been fenced-in and taken over by Kingston Iron and Metal Co (KIMCO). (Note to self - next time get going early enough to get to KIMCO before. Lots o' links: in this earlier photo. Of the trestle in this Part 1 of my initial.

Trackside Treasure: Trackside Treasure Seventh Anniversary

http://tracksidetreasure.blogspot.com/2015/08/trackside-treasure-seventh-anniversary.html

Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Trackside Treasure Seventh Anniversary. What is it about anniversaries? After all, each day follows another in a serial sunrise-sunset sequence. Anniversaries are significant to us because each year, we have a chance to reflect, look forward (above at Tompkins, SK) look back (below at Carmichael, SK both in 1986) and.hold a contest! For a minute, imagine that I created each Trackside Treasure post then simply saved it in my laptop. What would that do for me? Drifting diversity&#4...

Trackside Treasure: 110 Minutes at Union Station, July 2015

http://tracksidetreasure.blogspot.com/2015/07/110-minutes-at-union-station-july-2015.html

Tuesday, July 28, 2015. 110 Minutes at Union Station, July 2015. I arrived in Toronto on VIA No 651 on July 9, and at the end of the day I had some spare time. Checking in at the Business Class lounge in Union Station, I picked up a new VIA hat from their souvenir selection, perused some email over a Coke, then tickled the ivories a bit. Before heading toward the CN Tower to do some trainwatching before departure back to Kingston. I visited the same spot last September. After another five minutes, an eas...
