A great view. I’ve always liked Chessie cabooses.
Agree about the caboose. This is an eye-opening view as to what once was though, isn’t it?
This is great Mr Mooney. Especially with the Chessie transfer. Is a similar view..time machine type photo now(ish) we can see? Cheers.
Actually got it on Google Earth. Wish all the ripped track was drawn in. Work to do.
But still a pic of late would be great. Thanks again!
Worth a thought for anyone down in Fort Erie to do a “time” on this. Never thought of it myself…..but next time I am down there……
To see it now is the definition of railfan sadness!
DANG. How I never commented on this photo previously, I’ll never know. However, what a photo showing all the activity! For me, this takes me back as a kid visiting my birthtown, Palmerston. Former division point, and not as large as shown here in Fort Erie. BUT – when CN started reducing services, the yard there was always full of either F units orGP9′s. And boxcars out the wazoo! All stored in the yard. Still busy then (mid-late 80s) and we usually were never dissapointed when visting the town, asthere’s something special about seeing the headlights of a train or engine approaching Palmerston’s Main Street crossing.
Sad day when the rails came out completely BUT, sadness looms here in your photo too Arnold. Chessie, the old CASO, even CN – mostly gone. After moving to Caledonia in 1988, I was told by a classmate the old CN Dunnville Sub, was torn out around 1986. Wondering if this happened shortly after your photo?
