The anticipation of a meet shot - saved only by a telephoto lens. Just 30 seconds separated a side by side meet photo of CPR and Amtrak at Bayview Junction - where for 0.9 miles CPR's Hamilton Sub and CNR's Oakville subs run alongside each other. A meet shot being one of the most anticipated, and rarest events for the railway photographer - what meet photos have you obtained between two opposing railways?
