Railpictures.ca - A.W. Mooney Photo: For the life of me I cannot recall just where I shot this image. My notes say “Sackville”, but I do not recall a siding there. At least not out in the countryside. Would appreciate input. This scene shows the Ocean Limited with CN 6780, 6871 and 6761 passing westbound CN freight in the hole with CN 2012, 2337 and 2320. This was one lucky catch, considering how few trains I did manage in this part of the country. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

There was a siding East of Sackville towards Amherst. The West side of the siding Started near the TCH. This is a great shot. Reminds me of my childhood in Atlantic Canada.

Thanks!!!! I knew there was a siding somewhere along there as the sequence of photos I noted suggested it. But I just could not find the siding on any map I had. Nor did I see it on the map we “set our co-ordinates” on. Glad you like the photo.
