Comments on: Perhaps a bit of confusion on my headings due to the fact this is a CN area image, but a couple of CP detour trains are passing E and W on the CN Grimsby Sub. At the time of this photo, the CP line thru Hamilton to Fort Erie was shut down due to reconstruction at the Hunter St. tunnel. CP in this case used the Grimsby sub route to cross over to the USA rather than coming up thru Clifton Hill tourist area as they had been. This image, if taken today from this Victoria Av overpass location, would be shocking to say the least. The Cyanamid Plant (extreme left) is gone, as is all the yard trackage, it is just a dead wasteland with nothing to see but the CN mainline and I believe that metal yard office building. The CP trains, #521 and #522 (approaching) with CP 5825, HATX 514 and CP 5862 I remember had Gordie Rivers as engineer. Understand he has long since retired. Wondering if he follows this RP group…… http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

But thanks for the info. Another of the nice old railroad guys, Don Grove, passed away last week. He spent 37 yrs with CN and was a pleasure to know. I’m sorry to hear this, Ronald.

I think back in memory that the main reason I spent so much time in Niagara was because everyone else was at Bayview Jct in those days. So I thought, "Why document what everyone else is documenting"?? I could never have imagined how much of a railroad ghost town Niagara was to become.

Great shot here! As you say, it sure is a different look today in the same area. Amazing to see what was here in Niagara twenty plus years ago. Great shot here!
