Great image and, thanks for the memories. My first camera was a Pentax K1000. Twas a big deal at the time and I still have it on display in my favorite bookcase.

Appreciate the comment(s). Joe; the K1000 was the favourite of the majority of us, it seems. Simple to use, little could go wrong, and it made photography a lot of fun. I still have mine as well. Previously I had a Pentax KX, which was a notch better in theory, but in reality nothing beat the K1000.

The Pentax K1000 (first bayonet offering from Pentax)was a Cadillac compared to the Russian made Zenit E I employed as a dirt poor student!

Nice photo Arnold.

To which is this the line to Port Rob.? I know if two crossings on Lundys Lane. One line crosses on an angle, as you leave the Falls towards Fonthill. The other, which I think is this crossing….is just after the intersection to Thorold…I’d even say on the outskirts of Allanburg. Maybe I’m missing one though…going strictly by memory.

This is the train out of Port Rob. The other, farther west, used to be used by Trillium (GIO) and is now abandoned. Then there is the line just before the Canal Bridge, (Allanburg) which used to be where the old Thorold sub crossed and went into Port Rob.

Damn. I errored and could not stop the message from going thru.
This is the Port Rob CN main (Stamford sub). Down by Allanburg is the old Thorold Sub line, now just into the Thorold South industrial area after the bridge 10 on the canal was removed.
The other line, I stated was abandoned, is WEST of the Allanburg canal bridge. Was last used by Trillium (GIO).
My brain was in a fog. Sorry. Been a rough day around here.
cheers
