Comments on: Past the St-Jean station and the spike. The southbound Adirondack is rounding the curve in front of the ex-Grand Trunk station in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu. At right is an oversized spike to commemorate how this was the terminus of Canada’s first railway. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

When I saw that in another offering I got to wondering if it commemorated the first effort to save money by importing cheap spikes from Asia which bent upon being driven into the roadbed. Gawd that thing is ugly. I’m glad you explained that hideous spike to us.
