Storage tanks are seen to the right, and the caboose is further back on the main. I was in Nanticoke for a tour of the Stelco plant as a metallurgical engineering student at the University of Texas at El Paso. My mother’s cousin, Henning Christiansen of Hamilton, was a Stelco manager and arranged for the tour. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Nice image. Local Switcher servicing the Texaco Refinery. The photographer is looking north from Conc 2 Walpole, Mile 0.97 Hydro Spur.

Thanks for this Terry, after 40 plus years I was not sure “exactly” where the photo was taken in the Nanticoke area as a 19 year old – just looked it up now. I spent some time yesterday on google maps, but thought it was farther north…ahhhh the fog of time – but seems like yesterday….. Thanks again. Dad was used to slamming on the brakes at grade crossings if there was a headlight.
