The Brakeman is on duty at the switchstand on the former Blenheim (#1) Subdivision - The switch hardware dates back many decades. Notice the ancient switchstand head, and the much newer CTC equipment at left on the ground (CTC having been shut off around 1990). Photo taken at W. G. Thompsons imposing Blenheim elevators which still see railway service by way of CN in 2012.

    Only one way to get pictures like this. You have to be there. Excellent catch. :-)
