ONT 1809
Title:  ONT 1809
Description:  Now that's my idea of 'dashing through the snow'. Sadly, the 'Nlrthlander' service has been shut-down as of September 2012, so I won't be seeing these fine trains on Saturday mornings anymore.

Title:  ON 1809
Description:  After a little climb, I found a nice spot to grab a few pre-dinner snaps at Mount Albert Ontario. CN 5626 and BCOL 4611 are first along hauling empties to MacMillan Yard. A half-hour later and it's ONR 1809 with three coaches enroute to Union Station.

ONT 1809
Title:  ONT 1809
Description:  Holiday Monday Northlander approaches McCowan Road. Unfortunately, the protest STOP signs painted onto the Northlander locomotives would offer little protection from a government bent on shutting this line down, despite having all kinds of money to waste on all kinds of other political pet projects.

Description:  The end of the Northlander. This is it. The Northlander enters the home stretch just north of Toronto on its final run. Enormous construction site on the right will be the new GO Transit layover facility when the Richmond Hill line expands to Gormley in the near future.

ONT 1809
Title:  ONT 1809
Description:  BUT WAIT! How about a rousing encore for the 'Northlander'!?! I didn't expect to see this train ever again, but wouldn't you know it, after catching an incoming Saturday morning VIA train at Pine Orchard, then a CN freight at Herald Road, I stumbled onto the Northlander waiting at the Quaker siding and knew that I had not one moment to lose if I wanted to get a shot of her in the sunshine. I chased her (and I mean chased!) from Stouffville to Van Dorf, and just barely had time to leap out of the car, and snap this shot of the empty train as it hit the grade crossing at Warden Avenue - destined for its home base in the great Ontario north.
