Further to the photo of CN 4508 switching the yard at Alymer, the wayfreight is shown here before arrival in town, crossing a bridge on the line to the west. In tow behind the GP9 are then-modern yellow Railbox boxcars, one slightly fresher/newer than the others.

    Cool shot. Thanks for sharing. It reminds me of my train drawings when I was a kid :)

    Rare – most shots on the Cayuga sub are NS or N&W trains… CN seemed to only run a roadswitcher

    Last year I passed this every day on my ride to school. Its all overgrown now, and the bridge hard to see if you’re not looking for it. This is awesome, thanks for posting!
