Bala was quiet but the CP rail lines that comprise the Belleville and North Toronto subdivisions as well as Leaside Yard are always active. After making my way through the snowy trails to the Bayview Avenue I waited near the CP rail bridge over Bayview to see what might come my way. It never takes long and from the west came a consist of 115 tankers, two auxiliary cars and a pair of ES44ACs (8737 and 8784) leading . This one was unusual with an AC400CW unit 9585 pushing from behind for assistive power. The sound of the AC4400CW is quite distinct from it's ES44AC cousin, you hear it coming through near the end of the video.

Now in HD, with a CP pull/push consist as my first HD catch.
Upgrading to HD for my videos as Santa put a Sony CX250 under the tree with my name on it. After poking around with it in the house for a couple of days, I took it along with me on the trails, after a decent little 8 inches of snow came down late on Boxing Day. The trails are nicely runable with good packing snow down. With shorts on I did get a couple of "Aren't you cold?" questions coming my way with -6C temps. The cool air feels nice on the legs when your pushing through the snow as it burns calories a whole lot quicker than flat dry stuff. I managed all of last year with shorts although it really didn't have any of the really nasty cold days we can get up here.
