  1. It is no wonder I don’t really remember the Dundas Highway level crossing at Cooksville if the overpass has been there that long. That is yet another amazing Toronto Township/Mississauga picture.

  2. Diesels don’t hold a candle to steam.

  3. Beauty shot Bill!

  4. Small correction to the caption-the overpass (Dundas St) is just east of the station.
