And here's the scene at the harbour as cleanup continues, Goderich Elevator & Transit company is in the background, this was the CPR side of the harbour and behind me was the CPR station and all the tracks including a loop. I doubt engines have been seen this far since CP got rid of the line in 1988.

Caption: And here's the scene at the harbour as cleanup continues, Goderich Elevator & Transit company is in the background, this was the CPR side of the harbour and a loop track was situated where I am standing (existing road roughly outlines where it was) to get over to the CPR station, turntable and other facilities. I doubt engines have been seen this far since CP got rid of the line in 1988.

It’s impressive how far the train went beyond the end of track!

Based on google earth, where you can measure distances directly on the map, between what I think is the end of track at the elevator and where the 4095 ended up, the train seems to have gone offroading for 400 feet.
