On an oddly, dreary yet drizzly cold October day, I was lucky enough to revisit one of my all time favourite spots for a little railfanning. My attempt - to Time Machine a photo by Arnold Mooney. Weather was not the only change of scene...gone were some trees, the station and maintenance shed, the platform. And of course, who could not notice that this stretch of the Strathroy Subdivision is now only down to a single track?


I did the best I could given the circumstances of the day. And all is not lost - the line seems to be as busy as it was when I was a 6 year old, living in nearby Petrolia...some 30 years ago, same with Arnold's photo. You can see his photo here:  http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=24979
