Comments on: I certainly miss the days when the railroads were busy. A situation in which two trains can be captured in the same image was not as uncommon as one would think. Here, an unknown freight is heading into Hamilton while a CN (VIA) eastbound with 6529 & a B unit is about to make its’ move.

Right. This was a common scene; it is just that my being on “the other side” of the tracks to catch this was unusual for me.

The via must have been stopped waiting for a signal?

Nicely composed. A lot of new rail laying on the ground. An empty flag frame to the right of the van.
