This channel will share with you the railroad videos that I have enjoyed recording. Most of these will be based in and around Ontario Canada where I live.
Inspiration for what I do is partly based on watching the excellent video productions of the very many talented video makers in North America, in India, in the UK and in Europe.
Canada has two principle nationwide railway companies. Both the Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway provide Canada with coast to coast freight service. CNR has significant operations in the USA down to tidewater at the Gulf of Mexico. CPR ‘s USA operations cover the northern states and extend from Maine to New York City and more.
I hope that you enjoy viewing the videos that are presented in this channel.

DRONE VIDEO – WATCH 568 WORKS STRATFORD YARD
July 04, 2024
This video features the work of CN 568 at Stratford Yard.
CN 568 is the manifest known as the ‘Kitchener Turn’ which departs from and returns to Kitchener, Ontario and its work day takes it west from Kitchener to Stratford, St Marys and London with stops made as needed.
Our power on July 04 is the familiar EMD trio which has been frequently seen pulling 568 for weeks and it includes the interesting BNSF locomotive on loan to CN:
BNSF 2317 BNSF EMD GP38-2
CN 6420 EMD GP40-2 (GT Logo)
CN 4732 EMD GP38-2W
So please come along with us as we watch a little of CN 568’s work at Stratford that day.
And after the end of 568’s work at Stratford, stay with us for a look at the history Stratford’s GTW Station.

Hi James, excellent video once again. I have visited the CN yard in St Thomas many years ago, from the east side and never knew the bridge was that close to the yard. I think the Payne Sub was abandoned just after Ford closed it Talbotville plant in 2011. I thought CN had completely given up on St Thomas at that time. Guess I should make another trip soon. I wonder about 4717's heritage, CN ordered all their GP38-2s with Canadian Comfort Cabs ( wide nose ) so is it possibly ex Northern Alberta Railway? Obviously it's been CN for a long time with the Sargent Stripes. Happy Thanksgiving ( Rick )
Another fab video, James, of one of my favourite yards! Cheers!
Hello James An interesting video of three GPs from different railway companies working as a section of three to do shunting work in the yard. Great drone footage, thanks for the great video and have a nice Sunday. Best wishes Wolfgang
Great video, James! It's a thing that we experience in many places - much of the railway infrastructure is no longer needed, and then it is either sold or demolished. This station building looks beautiful. It could still do well for a regional transit hub with 4 or 5 lines - as long as it is close enough to the town or city that it serves. Have a good Sunday. Dirk
Awesome video and enjoyed watching. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend. Steve
Wow, nice catch James - BNSF, GT and CN locos up-front! Most will never see all three separately during a single day of fanning. Thanks for sharing.
I really like the information you give for the videos
Birds singing and the trains moving were wonderful.
Great coverage James enjoyed we will never see the new sets here
Well done video lots of action, James
Greetings James B. So nice to hear from you once more ! I am glad that enjoyed this one. James S.
Fantastic as always my friend
Hi again James. Thank you very much, my friend. Stay safe. James S.
Hello James, very nicely filmed, the train crossing the bridge (the bridge could use a new coat of paint😂😂) and the shunting in the yard. Thanks for the video and have a nice week. Best wishes Wolfgang
Grüße an dich, Wolfgang. Danke, dass du uns wieder besuchst. Diese Brücken sehen aus, als würde etwas Farbe helfen. Trotz ihres Aussehens führen beide kanadischen Eisenbahnen der Klasse 1 planmäßige Brückeninspektionen durch, die von Bauingenieuren durchgeführt werden. Das ist beruhigend. Allerdings sieht die erste Brücke in diesem Video ein wenig brüchig aus. Pass auf dich auf. James.
Very nice drone video. Thank you for posting it. Your detailed annotation is much appreciated. Showing map locations is a great professional touch. Looking forward to seeing more of your fine work.
Hello Ted; Thank you very much for your generous comments. I appreciate it for sure. It was great to hear from you. Stay safe. James.
Fab video, James. I always learn something new so I can plan revisits. Cheers, Nik
Hi Nik. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. St Thomas may be a small city, but it seems to have lots to offer for railfans. Stay safe. James.
Great video, James, good drone and ground footage! Both bridges are very interesting. Especially the first bridge along Talbot spur looks really dainty, rather like a bridge constructed for a narrow gauge railway. Best regards from Germany. Dirk
Grüße nach Hamburg, mein Freund. Vielen Dank für deine netten Worte, Dirk. Ich stimme dir in Bezug auf diese Brücke zu 100 % zu. Es gibt in Ontario eine Reihe von Eisenbahnbrücken mit genieteter Konstruktion, und die auf dem Talbot Spur sieht ohne Frage am fragilsten aus. Aus diesem Grund finde ich, dass sie die schönste von allen ist. Pass auf dich auf. James.
Freight train crossing the bridge is nice sight. Have a nice weekend.
マサクンさん、こんにちは。訪問とコメントをありがとうございます。あなたとご家族が素晴らしい週末を過ごせますように。お気をつけて。ジェームス。
What a sweet video and, great coverage James. I really enjoyed that! Have a Great Saturday! (Dave).
Greetings to you, Dave. I appreciate you most generous comments. I wish you and Jenny and Steve a great weekend. Stay safe. James.
Greatly filmed, the subway entrance at Toronto Union station.🎥👍👍👍
Hallo Wolfgang. Danke, mein Freund. Während der Betriebszeiten von GO Transit/Metrolinx ist dort immer viel los. Obwohl man es nicht sehen kann (weil ich am östlichen Ende des Bahnsteigs stand), war der Bahnsteig voll mit Reisenden, die darauf warteten, in diesen letzten westwärts fahrenden Zug der Nacht einzusteigen. Ich vermute, dass die meisten in der Stadt waren, um sich eine epische Aufführung von Hans Zimmer anzusehen. Pass auf dich auf. James.
This is a great little compilation. You're right. VIA always comes to the rescue on the Kingston Sub. Those Siemens trainsets are quiet. I'm glad that one didn't sneak up on you.
Hi Andrew. Thank you. It was treat to get so far out of my usual orbit and film there. As for sneaking, it almost did. I only just managed to get aloft before it was upon us. James.
Nicely filmed, James! Thumbs up and thank you for sharing. Andrew
Thank you, Andrew. For me, Bayview never gets old, never disappoints. James.
It's like shooting fish in a barrel! Thanks James.
Hi George. Yes - kind of - lol. James.
Informative as usual, James!
Hi Nik. Thank you my friend. James.
Good stuff, James!
Hi Nik. Thank you very much. James.
Nice catches. Man, that first intermodal was sure going slow!
Hi Bruce. Happy weekend to you ! Thank you for your visit, my friend. That freight was taking its time climbing up out of Hamilton where it had been working for while. Then it started to throttle up just when it got near to us. cheers. James.
nice man
Hi Gstar. Thank you very much. Stay safe, my friend. James.
That was a cool view James, very sweet catches! Nice video share, enjoy your weekend! (Dave).
Hi Dave. Thank you my friend. I appreciate it very much. Our kindest regards to you all at SSRP. James.
Awesome video!
Вітаю тебе друже. Приємно знову почути вас. Дякуємо, що знову завітали до нас тут, в Онтаріо. Бажаю тобі добра, Борисе, будь у безпеці. Джеймс.
Thanks for sharing this James! I really have to get my carcass out there as the traffic seems to be phenomenal! I have never seen a Grey Ghost in the flesh, only on videos. Cheers!
Hi George. Thank you. It is a very interesting location. And one of the busiest that I have come across. James.
Hi James, great video about passenger transport with VIA Rail in Canada. Best wishes and all the best to you, my therapy is over for now, I hope it helped. An evaluation will be in November.
Grüße Wolfgang. Ich bin froh, dass du jetzt zu Hause bist und dich von deiner Behandlung erholen kannst. Und ich hoffe, dass es dir bald besser geht. Danke, mein Freund. Ich freue mich darauf, wieder von dir zu hören. James.
Very good video, James, nice to see the different train sets, some of them running as multiple consists. Have a good Sunday. Dirk
Viele Grüße Dirk. Und vielen Dank. Ich hoffe, Du hattest einen schönen Drehsommer und das Hamburger Wetter hat mitgespielt. Viele Grüße an Dich und Deine Familie. James.
Cool video. I do videos of multiple passenger trains also. Have a great day.
Hi Bruce. Thank you. I found that attempting drone footage there was difficult. The trains arrived to quickly that I often had too little time to get aloft. Have a great weekend. James.
Sweet video captures there James, enjoy the weekend! (Dave).
Hi Dave. Thank you very much. I do appreciate it. Kindest regards to you all at SSRP. James.
Sound of railroad crossings, sound and sight of trains approaching. So great. Nice weekend.
マサクン、またこんにちは。日本にご挨拶します。 そして、私の友人、あなたの訪問にとても感謝しています。感謝します。あなたにも安全で楽しい週末をお過ごしください。ジェームス。
Amazing spot and video. Thanks for sharing James. ( Rick )
Thanks, Rick. I appreciate it. Visiting that area was definitely a bucket list item. Just so darned scenic there that it makes it hard to come away with footage that one is disappointed with. James.
Great video James, very informative. I think I need another trip to St Thomas soon. ( Rick )
Hi Rick. Thank you very much. It is an interesting town (well, city really I guess). I was hoping to get a look inside the BX Tower this summer, but unfortunately it didn't happen for me. Maybe next year. Stay safe. James.
Hi James. Sweet catch of the Potash train ( Rick )
Hey Rick. Great to hear from you ! These unit trains (can we call it that ?) are always cool to see because we seem to get so few of them. James.
Hello James, very nicely captured the CN freight train and the encounter with the local passenger train. The last part was the two empty diesel locomotives. Thanks for showing and have a nice week. Best wishes Wolfgang (I have to go to the hospital tomorrow for three days for nuclear artery therapy)
Grüße an dich, Wolfgang. Es tut mir so leid, von deinem medizinischen Problem zu erfahren. Ich hoffe, dass die Prozeduren gut und ohne allzu große Beschwerden verlaufen. Ich selbst habe wegen Herzproblemen Atomtests unterzogen werden müssen. Aber ich glaube nicht, dass das mit deinen Problemen zu tun hat. Viel Glück, mein Freund. James.
Two trains at same time. Nice capture.
おはようございます、マサクン。またオンタリオにお越しいただきありがとうございます。お気をつけて、素晴らしい一週間をお過ごしください。ジェームス。

Hi Mike. Thank you very much. I too liked the potash train; I do not see them too often. James.
Awesome video and view of this catch. Enjoyed the video and have a wonderful rest of your day. Steve
Hi Steve. Thanks my friend. Stay safe. James.
Very nicely filmed.🎥👍👍👍❤️🙋♂️

Fantastic video of the CN Intermodal container train. Excellent filming, James. Best regards from Germany Wolfgang
Hallo Wolfgang. Danke, dass du wieder bei uns bist. Ich hoffe, du hast dein Wochenende genossen, mein Freund. Herzliche Grüße an dich und deine Familie. James.
Great train to catch well done James
Greetings to you James B. Thank you very much. My first video excursion that far east of Toronto. Stay safe, and please enjoy Sunday. James S.
good stuff man hope you are well
Hello Gstar. We're doing pretty well here in the east. Thanks for asking. Thank you for reaching out. And I hope that you are doing well, Stay safe. James.
Nice one James. I really enjoyed those drone views, wonderfully done! (Dave).
Good morning, Dave. I am glad that you enjoyed it. Danny Harmon said several years ago that drones are just made for railroad videography. I feel that he was correct. And it is fun work to boot. Our kindest regards to all of you at SSRP. Stay safe. James.
Freight train running fast on a flat, wide area. So nice. Have a nice Sunday.
