TRRY 1859
Title:  TRRY 1859
Description:  I decided to venture into Port Colborne, hoping to catch TRRY 1859, and was in for a treat. Here the vintage ALCO heads east on Port Colborne Harbour Railway trackage pushing two grain hoppers - cleaving the backs of the Clarence Street stores on the south, and the residential area on the north. But I wasn't finished with this train just yet.

TRRY 1859
Title:  TRRY 1859
Description:  After a very short chase, I got this pic, from my car, as TRRY 1859 rolled passed the old Grand Trunk Railway station, built in 1910. The tracks are gone, the old iron swing bridge over the old Welland Canal is still there (but fenced-off), and a bike trail now occupies the right-of-way just east of this spot - where long-gone tracks once connected Port Colborne with far away Fort Erie.

TRRY 1859
Title:  TRRY 1859
Description:  I didn't realize it until I chased the slow-moving train north out of Port Colborne - that it was about to spot the two hoppers at the old Robin Hood Mills grain storage facility.

CP 8548
Title:  CP 8548
Description:  Always looking for new spots to watch and photograph trains, my trail today led to the South Niagara Rowing Club grounds, adjacent to the CP Hamilton Subdivision, just east of CP Welland yard. I had my fingers crossed for about an hour, watching the thick dark clouds creeping ever closer. But I totally lucked out, the sun lighting up CP 247 as the train rolled under the Canal Bank Road overpass.

Title:  UP 4101
Description:  Last Pic of the Month - and Catch of the Month - is this crispy Union Pacific SD70M - a long long way from its home range on the US west coast. Not until I got home and downloaded my pics did I notice the matching JEEP scooting along beside its much larger cousin. Coincidence or what? Never in a million years could I have staged this shot.
