Two modes of transportation meet in Snelgrove Ontario - but they are much much more closely linked than you think :) The helicopter is owned by Four Seasons Aviation Ltd. (http://www.fourseasonsaviation.com) and this facility seems to be fairly new. They are a charter airline (transportation, film, photography, etc) when I was on-site they had two pieces of equipment - this small helicopter and a much larger one inside their hangar. Give them a call if you have any aviation needs in the GTA :)
How are these two modes of transportation linked? Well think of it this way, those of us who are into Trains are also into other modes of transportation, and in some cases professionally. OBRY Engineer (and rp.ca contributor)  Steve Bradley is at the helm piloting CCGX 4015 north with about 150 passengers aboard, and he along with his Conductor Tyler would safely pilot their train through the beautiful scenery of the Credit Valley. Steve is a retired Air Canada pilot, having worked for them for 37 years and took up 'piloting' on the ground  with CP and later with Cando. We also have a few other flyboys on this site who contribute regularly. Regardless of what chair you sit in, or wether you are in the air or on the ground thank you to our 'pilots' for safely taking care of our transportation needs, your service is duly appreciated.
Photo notes: 1/100 chance to get the Canada flag sticking out like that. Mother nature was ANGRY and the wind gusts  were 80-100km/hour at that point. I will get a lottery ticket ASAP.
