Comments on: CP train 142 storms eastward past the large Ardent mill in Streetsville with repainted 9597 up front. In the foreground is the dormant ADM spur, and the train is just about to cross the Credit River.

Its great to see this angle is still doable ! I must have shot this scene 100 plus times, you probably just got sick of it from my slides at the GRS slideshows lol.

Thanks
It’s funny how I’ve been taking pictures here for a couple of decades and somehow never done this angle before. The Ardent mill here is quite the landmark, and has been expanded a few times since the 1800s, and can be seen for quite a distance considering it is suronded by residential neighborhoods.

It amazes me the number of auto carriers making up todays trains. Some trains consisting of only auto racks. Automobiles were a killer to passenger trains but they are not hurting freight. I like your background for this photo Marcus. Those are some big silos.
