3/4 After flying, on to trains. The snowstorm last week has made parking a mess in the City, wound up at Bartlett Ave for a trio of CPKC trains on the North a Toronto Subdivision, Trains 137, 420 and H27. At least snow banks offer some altitude #Railfanning #TrainsAreCool
Somedays things work out better than you’d hoped by the train not appearing where you wanted it to and having it be parked in a yard instead #Railfanning #TrainsAreCool #TheNorthlander #Drone
If Tylenol gives me autism, then choo-choo, here I come with my awesome train knowledge from my favorite painkiller! You'll have to pry both from my cold, dead hands Donny. #TylenolForLife #TrainsAreCool
Collage of pictures of the OC Transpo O-Train
In Ottawa for the long weekend. Finally a chance to ride the OC Transpo O-Train. Great day out and nice to see improved transit for Ottawa, other than the power tripping employee who tried to tell me you can’t take pictures on the train. #TrainsAreCool #Railfanning #CanadaDay
What’s your Ideal day…
Any time I can get out and chase trains. But doubly so when avoiding work as I complete another lap around the Day Star #TrainsAreCool #Railfanning
And after dark got Droney out to fly over the future Etobicoke Civic Centre at six points, and then pan some subways while waiting on CPKC Train 231’s nocturnal roll through the city #Railfanning #TrainsAreCool #Drone
Because after all, I am first a train guy, last nights trains before going to the airport. Couple of GO at Islington, followed by some CPKC at Osler, with Train 101-17 getting stuck at a broken switch and having to go around. #TrainsAreCool #Railfanning
The crew of VIA Rail Train 70 waving in the cab at us taking pictures.

Collage of 16 CPKC, VIA Rail Canada, Amtrak and CN trains.
This is how you Saturday! Been a busy and stressful few weeks, so a chance to go and chase VIA Rail (& Amtrak) diversions over CN and some CPKC in Halton with friends yesterday was just what was needed ! A sold 16 train day in the sun. #Railfanning #TrainsAreCool
3/2 Best $5.00 ever to take the caked on dirt and salt from a day on back roads off the car #Railfanning #TrainsAreCool #CarWash
2/2 And wrapped the day with a CN grainer in the gloom of dusk at Halton Sub Mile 30, a favourite place. Dinner of Scotch pies from Ontarios best Scottish bakery - Rising Dough Scottish Bakery in Cambridge (no pic) #Railfanning #TrainsAreCool
1/2 Went out for a bit of a mental health day Friday. We each have our things for clearing the mind, mine is chasing trains. morning GO Trains on the Kitchener line, Ontario Southland Railway in Ingersoll, CPKC w/foreign power at Wolverton #Railfanning #TrainsAreCool
And the voyage home in what passes for daylight around 5pm these days. Good day, I do like the train downtown and back #TrainsAreCool #Railfanning
Few days not feeling well and a downtown thing means a GO Train Ride to feel better #TrainsAreCool #Railfanning
Working the weird week with the Wednesday holiday in the middle. Decided to in office today to treat myself to a GO train ride and get out of the house to focus on work today. Making use of having multiple offices to hide at not my normal office though! #TrainsAreCool
Here's one for my fellow nerds. The absolutely magnificent Union Pacific "Big Boy".

Home from the Halton County Radial Railway’s “Christmas on the Rails” first night. There were still people arriving at 6 as I was leaving, if you’re in the GTA it’s on Tomorrow (Dec 8) and next weekend too (14-15). Lots of fun riding in the snow! #Streetcar #Railfanning #TrainsAreCool #Christmas
