With a nod to  Ryan Gaynor who found the trails, here's my take on the Hamilton Century Brick angle. Unique because I had the chance to use a CP GP9 as my subject, two years after the last gp9 was taken off the roster - too bad 1650 wasn't a former TH&B unit.
The Century Brick factory is still a going concern one and a half centuries later, I chose to frame the smokestack, 'hive' and finished product into the shot rather than the entire facility.
Funny thing is the only reason I ever really ventured into this part of Hamilton as a teen was to visit Girlfriends. Now I visit because of trains... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

ALSO - On the subject of sold CP GP9's - OSR has also bought one: I was informed by OSR Staff that CP 1594 was purchased by the railway. Have an eye..

  1. Sweet! Can’t wait to hear more on the 1594. It’s another multimark!

  2. Oops, 1594 has been repainted, no more multimark.

  3. I am informed CP 1650 is/was going to the Landisville RR.

    Edit: actually Clinton Terminal Railroad
