Hello, my name’s Allen. I’m here to share my various train photos, news, and advocacy.
Focused mainly on British Columbia, Ontario and the PNW, sometimes I will post a couple other adventures from where I’ve gone!
My original photos may be used under the terms of the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. Feel free to send a message for other uses or any questions. I can speak and write terrible-quality French (français) and mediocre Japanese (日本語).

10·4 months ago@Gladaed @grte That is a real freight train, as far as I can tell. But it looks weird because it appears they photoshopped or told AI to remove the (likely Canadian Pacific) logos off the side of the locomotive and owner logos off train cars, and the train numbers off the grey rounded rectangles. In railfan parlance, this locomotive model is a “Gevo”… compare with this photo of a similar engine.

The Union-Pearson Express flyover! Cool shot @troyunrau!

This is the right move. Imagine if politicians were paid only for the time they were at their seat.Railroad unions have followed the process by the book, and there’s still no resolution after being in court for a year now:

Being forced to go back to a job under-compensated is an untenable situation here. Something needed to be done lest we lose our right to collective labour action.
If you’re one of the doctors wanting to move to Canada and work, Todd Maffin (@tod) is looking to help you. He’s preparing quite a number of resources to save you from figuring out the whole convulted process yourself!
Freight right-of-way ownership is also a problem, but the car set they are replacing/adding to is 75+ years old, they are sturdy and reliable, but having more cars means that they could increase service beyond 3 trips a week on these routes. At the moment, occasional breakdowns and maintenance periods mean they face long distance equipment shortages sometimes.
