Railpictures.ca - Ryan Gaynor Photo: To me, OSR in downtown Ingersoll represents the epitome of small-town railroading in Canada. This a scene that I have tried to capture on multiple occasions but one that has always proved to be a bit challenging. However, on this stormy morning all of the elements came together. Under a dark October sky, OSR 1400 (an ex-CN FP9A) is seen creeping across Thames Street with sister unit 1401. Thanks to convenient sucker-hole, my envisioned scene had come to life. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

This shot is damn near impossible – even harder to get ZERO cars lined up – as soon as Ingersoll residents have their morning coffee it’s as if they all go for a drive up and down Thames St… Five attempts it took me..
