Wie wäre es mit einer kleinen Städtereise? Wie es scheint, wird es sogar Bordservice geben.

(Die Douglas DC-3 (mit den militärischen Varianten Douglas C-47 und Douglas Dakota) ist laut Wikipedia das bis heute in der grössten Stückzahl gefertigte Passagier- bzw. Transportflugzeug, und mit Sicherheit eines der bekanntesten. Für die Swissair waren 16 Maschinen dieses Typs von 1937 bis 1969 im Einsatz. Die Maschine mit der Kennung HB-IRA als Vorbild des Modelles gehörte zu den ersten wurde bis 1955 von der Swissair geflogen, anschliessend verkauft. Der Swissair-Flugplan Nr. 6 galt ab dem 25. Mai 1948.)

How about a little city trip? It seems there will even be on-board service.

(The Douglas DC-3 (with the military variants Douglas C-47 and Douglas Dakota) is, according to Wikipedia, the passenger resp. transport aircraft produced in the largest numbers until today, and certainly one of the most famous ones. For Swissair, 16 aircraft of this type operated from 1937 to 1969. The machine with the designation HB-IRA as the prototype of the model belonged to the first ones and operated by Swissair until 1955, then sold. The Swissair flight plan No. 6 was valid from May 25, 1948.)

Although it is not the original Galt House, when I look at the modern Galt hotel in downtown Louisville, I think of the rising star of Brigadier General William "Bull" Nelson of Kentucky cut short. It is hard not to think back to this Civil War killing at the Galt House of Nelson by an angry fellow Union General, who was angrily dismissed of his command for being ignorant of his operations and negligent in his duties.

With helpers B&O 3719 and CR 7810, CP Extra 4709 charges westward at mile 48 on the CP's Galt Sub.

Sie galt lange Zeit als die einzige Art der Gattung Nyctea und wurde daher taxonomisch entsprechend isoliert von den anderen Eulenarten betrachtet. Molekularbiologische Untersuchungen haben jedoch gezeigt, dass sie zu den Uhus (Bubo) gehört und nah mit dem Virginia-Uhu (B. virginianus) und dem Magellanuhu (B. magellanicus) verwandt ist.

Die außeren Unterschiede zu den Uhus, etwa die weiße Gefiederfarbe und die dicht befiederten Füße und Zehen, können als Anpassung an den arktischen Lebensraum erklärt werden." Die Schnee-Eule steht auf der Roten Liste gefährdeter Arten.

In a pretty rare occurrence, CP 3-H88 has just a pair of GP38s for power as they grind up the grade in full notch 8 under the wooden bridge at mile 37 of the Galt Sub with about 5000ft of empty autoracks for Wolverton Yard.

I’m not sure exactly when CP 3011 arrived and was added to the Toronto power pool, but it’s certainly a welcome sight being one of only a small fleet of GP38ACs on the roster, and for my first catch of it to be leading a rare westbound on the main out of Toronto is even more special. What a day!

Taken at night, it turned out pretty good. The Galt Museum is located in Lethbridge, Alberta.

The golden time of the evening had but a minute or two left when CP 255 made its appearance. By the time the near 7500 foot train passed, the sun went behind the horizon so this was as close as it gets. The SD60, CP 6248 glows in the last rays of the day as it heads eastward up the Galt sub at the 7th Concession in Puslinch.

This fire station was built in 1898 for the City of Galt, Ontario (now Cambridge). It was a functioning fire station until 1979. Today it is the Fire Hall Museum & Education Centre.

The Cambridge Mill Restaurant at night. It is quite amazing the amount of work they did to the old Mill.

My first shot of 2014 was interesting. This photo was taken during one of CP's dumb experiments when empty ethanol trains that came off CSX at Buffalo, New York would lift stacks for Detroit, Michigan at Welland, Ontario. I believe they came out of Montreal, Quebec on 143 and went down one mountain and up another via Hamilton and then reversed those extra miles on the empty ethanols. It was a pretty ridiculous operating strategy but I guess it made sense to somebody. Here is one such combination passing Galt, Ontario with a rare-for-here set of power.

CP 137 crosses the Grand River in Galt Ontario with a pair of CP GEs. This is one of my favourite bridges in Southern Ontario, it's extremely satisfying to grab shots of trains over this bridge.

It's pretty rare to see a CP train here in my hometown of Galt, Ontario that is devoid of a CP locomotive.

I broke a copious number of rules pertaining to my employment and the Highway Traffic Act on this morning, but in retrospect I think given that I would only see these two unique-on-CP beasts one time it was worth it even for this mundane shot as they departed Galt, Ontario.

The CWR train with SD40-2, CP 5922, slowly rolls back past mile marker 57 towards the old Galt train station. The station was restored in the last few years and now is used by the CP foreman. The 40 mph sign slows trains down for the trip over the old Grand River bridge just beyond this view.

Great view but a perilous home. The strength of spider's webbing never fails to amaze me. To survive in such an exposed area is quite a feat as the pedestrian bridge has no walls to block wind or rain, only these narrow struts to build upon.
