Canada’s Atlantic Fleet

I was in the Halifax area recently and had a chance to see some of Canada’s Atlantic Fleet (from afar). The Canadian navy is divided into two fleets, Atlantic and Pacific, to match the oceans they patrol. Perhaps we’ll have a third fleet soon, for the Arctic Ocean?

A Pop-Up Surprise

This pop-up post needed a little digging before I could identify the location. All I had was two images that I scanned off a 4-image 35mm film strip of mine… CN 5691 above, and CP 5570 below.

Continuing the pop-up post series, here’s a quick look at an empty potash train rolling into Winnipeg from off the Sprague subdivision.

A Spiritual Moment

In the summer of 2013, we drove from Winnipeg to Banff to spend a week in the Rockies. We stopped in the Regina area going west and going east, and I took the opportunity to go see some trains while we were there.

A Nice Night for Trains

I haven’t been very inspired to photograph trains, so I try to jump on any inspiration I do have. On June 26, 2024 I noticed that the eastbound Canadian was coming, I saw it was a lovely evening, and I decided to make some pictures.
