Great view and it looks like some nice timing with a sunny break in the overcast!

Great pic John. Lots of memories there!
Our family had just moved from Hornepayne to Washago in 1963 when my father was transferred there as the CN Roadmaster.
We lived in Rama for the first year before acquiring a house right in the town of Washago where we lived for two years until a transfer to Windsor as CN’s Roadmaster.
My brother and I have walked across that bridge countless times as we explored the tracks, coal tipple, and other railway infrastructure situated there.
