A touch of class in Hamilton - it's hard to find class in the north end, witness the state of the right of way.. but for a brief, and a surprise moment, class rolled through in the form of a private car sporting the herald of the 20th Century Limited, of the New York Central. This car is LIKELY to come back on 97 but it's anyone's guess what happens next.

This car is scheduled to return on VIA 97/Amtrak 64 to NYC on May 30.

    The state of the right of way? Other than the trash beside the tracks the state of the right of way is just fine thank you.

    Phil , Agreed. This is what railway photography is. Be at the right place at the right time and serendipity will happen. We can say this for just about every single railway photo ever taken, can’t we! Like your Humber shot…. never again :) (well almost never!)
