The westbound "Atlantic" has just passed Armdale and is about to go under Mumford Road.
The second unit, a F-9B, was rather unusual for Halifax. 
The gated track to the left leads to the Simpson-Sears warehouse and store. It seems to always be filled with CP boxcars.
The historic rail equipment is a complete mystery to me. I do not even remember ever looking at it.
Note the well used path/trail across the tracks. It is one of many along this stretch of tracks. RR's weren't quite as anal back then.

  1. The old railway equipment on the left belonged to the Scotian Railroad Society. https://memoryns.ca/scotian-railroad-society
