If you don't realize that you shouldn't be trying to read this page with under 100kb/s, you need to see a head doctor.
We started off going through Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan to Toronto. At this point my digital camera is alive and well.
Cutbank Creek:
Havre:
North Dakota:
Minot: (Didn't catch all that much, and it was high sun anyways!
Duluth! (There are more shots, but I don't feel like troubling you with those nasty inside-of-museum shots I took there)
A night on Lake Superior:
And the following morning:
Then went to Toronto, yada yada, bruce penninsula, sunset...
Then to a music camp. Oh joy. I wanted to kill myself, but ended up pwning as some crazy British dude.
Took a really emo shot, but blurred it the first time because it caught me unawares skulking in a dark hall.
Looks better small anyways.
Then back to Toronto, whereupon my camera died and I had fun with my 'new' untested 1960s macro lens.
Then went to Montreal, some interesting stuff in the Eastern Townships of Quebec...good light failed me.
Then in Montreal proper, I attempted to go railfanning.
The pictures from that:
And yes, the word you're looking for is unfortunate. The picture of the equiptment definitely turned out better than the pictures of the trains. There were three. And they all looked the same. And my cousins were amazed by my ability to tell if one was coming by looking at signals. Wow.
Anyways. The best part of the trip: Exporail! (The Canadian Railway Museum) (I had also lost my cable release, so was kind of buggered for shots then as well)
My favorite locomotives there: M640 #4744, a 4000HP AC Traction ALCo! Behind it is the only remaining Trainmaster, H24-66 #8905.
There's SO MUCH MORE there than I've shown, it takes up something like 5 pages in the Guide...
Next stop: Ottawa. Museum of Science and Technology. Home to 4 steam engines and a hidden C-Liner. Most of the place sucked.
Then there was this place. With this train. Was called Wakefield. The train was very continental European, and I see no point in posting pictures of it as a whole. They all sucked anyways.
Then some tiny wreck on the CP something river or something bay sub
Stopped in Marathon for the night.
Went through the states for, like, 10 minutes. The US customs officer was like "wtf" when we said we'd be there for half an hour and I thought he'd detain us.
Then no trains until Assiniboia. Even though we slept in a motel beside the CN yards on the east side of Winnepeg.
There are also some slide shots from the Little Pic river, but we haven't got that roll back yet.
Anyways, I know I'm kind of sucking at this for professing to be a photographer, but screw the world, here are my shots anyways.
