On a warm spring day, the crew is enjoying the breeze piloting their train through a busy area known for pedestrians. What remains of "E" yard - pictured -  was a staging point for ferrying cars across the St. Clair River (until 1995) and a CN/CSX interchange point (which still occurs, just rarely). Now it's used to support switching Imperial Oil (behind the photographer) and Cargill Elevators - at the end of the Point Edward spur. Some tracks have been disconnected and removed over the last couple of years as seen in this photo.
Here's a John Eull shot showing the yard during the busier ferry days - with a station on site: http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=4948
