August 13th, 2011

After an extended trainless period and with the death of my as-yet unreplaced Tamron 18-200MM superzoom lens, I finally got out to the tracks southbound out of Ottawa via Bank St to the St. Lawrence, picking up a westbound stack train at Winchester on CP, CN #377 at Iroquois, and an assortment of Vias in the Brockville area. Years after the first one went into service (and was subsequently wrecked), I finally shot one of the rebuilt VIA F40PHs.

Winchester, Ontario

The namesake of the CP Winchester subdivision, Winchester is on County Road 31 (Bank St) south of Ottawa.

A CP westbound comes under the Bank St. bridge in Winchester. We caught it with seconds to spare on an ATV trail not far off a road where we were passing when the train called Winchester mile.
