Comments on: No drone: With clear views of the Steel City’s North End, including Ivor Wynne Stadium, Stelco, Burlington Bay and the Niagara Escarpment the classic Brickworks vantage point provides a perfect location to capture CP 254 with this tripleset of six axle EMD power that got everyone all hot and bothered in the late summer and early fall of 2020. This set was together around a month and broken up by mid October 2020. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

A new company moved in, it's all fenced off, they warn of guard dogs (but you can still go in and buy bricks!). They've laid down tonnes of crane equipment along the fence line (by tracks) and half the structures were removed. I think the City tried to get heritage designation and they managed to get some stuff down before hand.. I'm not going to say this shot is done completely 100% but it's most certainly nowhere as easy. It's very possible there could still be enough height from this point to shoot 'above the fence' for a train on the siding. The train here is on the siding, anything on the mainline will probably be no bueno. BTW folks, this shot is basically ruined.

They have their time and place for those with the patience.. that's not me :) 50mm.. 1/8D lens absolutely zero distortion.. a flawless lens.. can’t do that with any drone.
