Ah.....Summer North of Superior.....when track occupancies ( blocks ) limit daylight train operations....where any operating train is a celebration....August 30, 1984 CP Rail 6003 ( with 5528 ) East squeals through the curves near Mile 74.0 (?) Heron Bay Subdivision. Note the now rare freight mix CP Rail TOFC's, CPR brown box, CP Rail boxes, BCR box. Kodachrome by S. Danko. What's interesting: SD-40 CP 5528 sold to Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern in 2000 now DME 6092. More Northern Ontario: exceptional end of train device rare sight

    Today most of these types of locations are completely treed or bushed out.
