Stephen, I believe Dain was a rail to truck transfer point. I dont think CN had any intermodal in this area at all but I could be mistaken

oooooooooooh – thank you. So loaded containers came in and Dain City was the transfer point?

Imagine if NS still had an intermodal terminal in Ontario…

In the middle of Fort Erie yard, Steve. Facing east towards the USA. Diesel shop would be off to your right. Central Ave bridge blocked by the train and trees.

This is great – thanks Paul and Dean for sharing.

I’m not exactly sure where I am staring at directionally, this looks like Dain city and Paul is facing “east” and the NS train is heading west toward the Dain City bridge?

If so, then this train is coming off the the canal sub from the Welland area heading to Feeder?

Neat scene. Even includes the ex-Dofasco 65-ton Whitcomb unit off to the right.
