Comments on: Eastbound at Canfield with a beautiful NYC Lightining Stripe F7A in the lead. Note that this locomotive was made in model form by Athearn . Doesn’t it look great in the Canadian snow? http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

What you see on the right is a little bit of the CN Cayuga Sub, with the Dunnville Sub beyond; and the connecting track between the two ( see the WAB eastbound photo). And the building is the former station back when there was a Mixed train on the Cayuga Sub. Over on the left side, thats the NYC ' tower ' with the NYC-CN connecting track to the Dunnville Sub running behind it, beneath the NYC pole lines. Doug was standing in the northwest quadrant of the diamonds when he took this shot. And the problem is, this is a WESTBOUND NYC freight.

Mosto f the sles have turned to a purple haze, hence much PhotoShop work is required. My thanks to both John Eull and Steve Host for their efforts.

The track beyond the small structure was a connecting track between the NYC and the Dunnville Dub. I rarely saw it used.. When it was used Maintenance of Way equipment would be parked there. The Dunnville Sub was lifted first. The track emerging under the first and second boxcar is the Dunnville Sub.
