I'll never tire of this scene: a nice blue sky winter's day, the Canadian flag flying stiffly in a cold winter wind, a crisp and freshly painted Amtrak 125 crossing over from Canada to the USA and clean white snow. Lots of it too. With the Amtrak crew having boarded to take the train across, this train is now Amtrak 64 headed to New York City with the first stop at Niagara Falls, USA. The locomotive is on the "Amtrak" owned running track, while the cars are on the CNR Grimsby Subdivision. The rail bridge deck was sold/purchased and now maintained by Amtrak.

    Nicely done. I’m sure you could’ve time machined this photo with another one I’m sure was taken by Arnold Mooney….????

    Stephen, a very nice, colourful picture ! This is a favourite photo location for me, and I love the Canadian flag blowing in the breeze, in the same direction as the Maple Leaf is travelling. As they say, “Only in Canada . . . what a pity.” Yes, in “independent Canada, forever !”. Thanks for posting, John
