GO F59PH 551 brings an early morning rush hour train across the Desjardins Canal in Hamilton, on its way from Hamilton GO Centre to Toronto Union Station. This was a tricky shot to get with my Nikon F50 camera, as it was difficult to determine the correct aperture, speed settings and film type to capture the train without a blur in either the train or background from panning. The York Blvd. bridge is visible overhead, along with a bird and a biker on the way to their daily appointments. Highway 403 is in the background and the CN Grimsby/Oakville Sub directly behind me. It was a humid July morning, and the 551 was still in its factory paint shortly before its first overhaul.
