Silent Steel. The early morning hours finds local train 582 power slumbering the hours away beside the locals busiest customer, a lumber yard located in Cambridge. The lumber yard is active day and night, and Quebec Gatineau GP35 #2500 will be called upon in the morning to haul the empty centre beam lumber cars back up to the mainline in Guelph where local #580 will later in the day forward them to Kitchener for lifting the next day by road train #432 and on to CN's yard in Toronto. At one time the Fergus subdivision extended from CN's Dundas sub at Lynden all the way to the division point of Palmerston. Today it only extends between Cambridge and Guelph, no longer traveling through its namesake town of Fergus.

  1. Great composition Marcus!

  2. Thanks
    It’s one of the few places that is well lit at night and the power is accessible.
