True North, eh? That’s right —the forthcoming February issue of Railfan & Railroad Magazine entitled “True North” is a celebration of Canadian railroading! True North is a project that has been many months in the making, and one that I was fortunate enough to be a part of.
Back in the fall of 2020, I embarked on a road trip across northern Ontario in an effort to capture photographs and discover how Canada’s storied railroading heritage has endured in some of the most rugged and challenging landscapes in the country. I’m excited to announce that these photos and an accompanying essay 'Portrait of the North' will be featured in this special all-Canada issue! I’m really proud of this one and cannot wait to share it with everyone. The above is a sneak peek at one of the photos from the story.

Not
