On a blustery day in January, I found myself searching for remnants of Americana in the form of derelict railway stations, signals and factories in a frozen Buffalo, New York. With nipping winds, blowing snow and cloudy weather, making up most of the day it seemed like it was a complete bust. However, nearing the end of the less than desirable day, the sun came out, covering much of Buffalo in a rich golden glow. The blowing snow, and the setting sun created an almost surreal environment for this stopped Norfolk Southern train on the outside of town.

Canadian Pacific TH31, the Hamilton yard job, gives Montreal-bound stack train no. 142 a push up the 'mountain' towards Waterdown, ON. This operation is almost a daily occurrence now and crews have the manoeuvre down to a science. Nonetheless, listening to the scanner chatter is rather entertaining.

On an absolutely frigid morning in Stratford, Ontario two phenomenons occurred: OSR 8235 was resting in the GEXR yard and a very noticeable Sun Dog led right to it! A Sun Dog is an atmospheric phenomenon that creates bright spots in the sky (usually when the sky is low); in this case, it appeared more like a rainbow. As for the OSR unit, it was borrowed to help plow the line.
