This is an angle I've had my eye on for a while and on a trip last year, it all came together. There was a derailment here a couple years ago that basically cleared this area up as it was overgrown with trees/weeds. At right is the old Welland Canal and even in the background the Robin Hood elevator. You photographers on here can look at those dramatic clouds and probably go "Gosh, how did you get sun?" - Well yeah, it was a nail biter. One of those days that starts off without a cloud in the sky and by 11-12 AM it's wall to wall clouds, making one just leave and go home. I believe this part of the line was built in 1997 around the time the PCHR started up, for notes see  This mooney pic of the ceremony. I'm still amazed how they pulled this off to get the railroad connected.
