Comments on: RLK 5005, RMPX 9431 and RLK 4057 quietly wait for the evening crew to take SOR 597′s daily freight to Brantford and CN interchange. This photo of SOR 597 and surrounding trackage was taken from Concession 8 (south edge of the Garnet Yard)looking southward. The still standing trackside switch cabinet in the distance (mile 4.4) marks the crossing site and diamond of the former CN Cayuga Subdivision and the Hagersville Subdivision. The connecting track still exists plus part of the Cayuga Subdivision to the west (almost to Regional Road 55. SOR continue to utilize this trackage for tank car storage. The n/w connecting track has been disconnected at the westerly point. Fast forward to this day and same location … now its G&W livery / colours, numerous wind turbines and drone photography. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

Very rudimentary but it worked ... an extended monopod duck taped to another 8’ aluminum pole, remote control for my camera of the day, and after several discards. Railway wyes and diamonds intrigue me and, as such, I wanted to capture this historic trackage in a fuller sense. Interestingly, 3 wyes exist on trackage utilized by SOR – just inside the entry gate to US Steel Lake Erie Works, Garnet Yard (pictured here) and Caledonia (siding & station, etc).
