Symmetry. It's why I fell in love with railroading. It started with CN's ore train where I would sit at the station went the family would come into Bracebridge for laundry day. I was lucky enough that my parents would trust 10-year-old me to not get run over while they left to do groceries for a hour or so. I can't remember if Bracebridge still had an operator in those days; I think so but I was too shy to bother them. It graduated to grain trains and a sea or "Trudeau hoppers", all perfectly aligned. Coa; and sulphur trains too. For reasons i can't explain, it doesn't apply to autorack or container trains, but we're all a little eccentric. Which brings us to today; a perfect string of tanks (the idler happily hidden with the power) stepping its way across the Galt Sub as the wind rapidly knocks down too many leaves. Hopefully, the crew was amused as I tried to balance on the roof of my Civic as the wind tried to deposit me back on Mother Earth. While railroading seems to have become a little too ubiquitous...2 GE's and 10000 feet, this is still special.
