Golden Reflections - The setting winter sun shines yellows and golds off a quintet of Canadian National Railway GP40-2LWs. Led by #9625, they lead train #730 westbound through Brampton, Ontario, on a cold day in 1986. Providing 3,000 horsepower each, for a total of 15,000-hp, these five locomotives were from a group of 278 GP40-2Ls built by GMDD in London, ON, that were owned by CN. The ground shakes beneath the locomotives and their unit train of CNR and Ontario Northland Railway cylindrical ore cars filled with thousands of tons of iron ore from mines in Northern Ontario. Their final destination is Dofasco Steel in Hamilton, Ontario. In 1991 the mines were closed, and this service ended. Medium: Acrylic on canvas, 2007 SOLD

A Change of Colour - In the time-honored tradition prescribed by Rule 19 of the Uniform Code of Operating Rules, the conductor on a Canadian Pacific caboose turns the marker lamp to show green to the rear instead of red, indicating to a following train that his train is safely in the siding and the way is clear.

Superior Afternoon - With a view fitting its name, Lake Superior has drawn the likes of the Group of Seven and CPR photographer Nicholas Morant to its North Shore with its jagged cliffs, boreal forests and unpredictable weather. Places like Pic Island, Jack Fish Bay, Mink Harbor and others have become synonymous with the North Shore. Built on billion year old rock, the Canadian Pacific's Heron Bay subdivision twists and turns it way around the great lake through numerous rock cuts, tunnels, earth fills and towering trestles. On this August day in 1966, the sun breaks through the clouds just long enough to cast its warm light on train #952. With their howling exhaust and heat rising in to the air, SD40 #5503 (built a month earlier), another SD40, a GP35 and a C424, all in CP's maroon and gray scheme, begin to climb the 1.4 percent grade up Neys Hill. Originating in Calgary and bound for Montreal, train #952 would commonly have stock cars and piggyback cars on the head end. Today, these services are no longer operated. Colorful rocks and forests might be an attraction for artists and photographers, but for the men of the CPR, it's just another day of railroading on the North Shore.
