Ed, great pictures, but don't forget to take shots from the other side of those billboards, those ads will be something to see in the coming years.
I missed too many of them, but do have one of gas at 89 cents, and a new 78 Buick for $4395 or something like that

Hello Everyone---a colourful combination down on Stuart St.



Geeps steal the show at Kinnear Yard

Hello again---I caught an interesting combination rolling through Bayview today

Hello Everyone---lots of zeros this morning at Kinnear Yard as GP9 8200 passes AC44CW 9800



The 9800 led a sister heading east out of the yard while #8200 was part of a three unit consist of GP9's doing the yard switching

Hello Everyone---I caught this westbound train heading through Kinnear Yard today.The locomotives were SD-40-2's,including SD40-2F #9014.I wish I could have got a clear shot of #9014 but the train was stopped and this was the best I could do.

Nice catch Ed, I sure hope you get another chance at it sometime soon.

Hello Everyone---back in the early eighties my wife Sharon and I visited my brother Danny when he lived in Langley, British Columbia.Danny knew I was a train nut and through a mutual friend who worked for the Canadian Pacific,he arranged a tour of CP's yard in Vancouver.I found some photos of that memorable day---here's one of me in the cab of one of the newer SD40-2F locomotives---check out the number of this unit,look familiar ???---check my previous posting :o :o :o

Hi Ed, you need to make connections so you can remake that photo.... (I won't mention mustache or hair dye)

Hello Everyone---a cold and sunny day here today,a good day for some railfanning.Things didn't start that well as I just missed an east-bound train heading out of Kinnear yard as I drove along Lawrence Rd.Maybe my luck would change as I headed out to Bayview---I spotted the tail end of a freight train sitting in the Stuart St. yard and hurried out to York Blvd---just in time.



Next a quick stop at Laking Gardens and caught a westbound Via



Heading home I stopped at Stuart St. again,there were some colourful covered hoppers that caught my eye---fresh from the National Steel Car Company heading to western Canada





There was also a Raillink GP9 sitting in the yard



My last stop was Kinnear yard,just in time to catch this west bound freight stopping for a crew change



It turned out to be a pretty good day afterall

Hello Everyone---it's been very cold the past few days,too cold for railfanning so I'm posting some shots taken a week or so ago.The first shot shows evidence of fire damage on lead unit 2673.Apparently CN is in no hurry to repaint the locomotive as I came across a picture of this diesel taken in Nov.2011 showing the same fire scars.





Back at Kinnear Yard,some CP action at the east end of the yard.

CN 2673 are you sure that's not the North America map?

You're right, David. The first time I saw the "map" paint scheme, I thought that the paint had peeled off, revealing grey primer.

Here's a shot of another CN diesel showing the CN North America logo---I still think the 2673 has fire damage

Hello Everyone---it's not that often that I get a chance to do some railfanning on Saturdays,but I had a couple of errands to run today so I thought I would bring my camera just in case I was near the tracks.As I was heading home,I decided to test my luck at Kinnear Yard---here's some of the action.

Boy, you can see the difference that reversing 2 digits made on that big red thing.
