Another one of those dismal sort of days in early December, with a hint of low sunshine, but what hurt was being let down by some inferior film this time around. It must have been that old Sakuracolor, an imitation po'boys Kodak that I should have never bought.  Very grainy.
This view is from the old Canada Crushed Stone conveyor that used to straddle the tracks carrying stone from the north hill side over to the stockpiles at Steetleys area down below the CN main. In this view foreground, the two right tracks are the main, the left is CN siding, well used, and down in the "gully" is the line off the CN that not only served Steetleys and their dolomite business, it also connected to the TH&B which accessed via the line that came thru Dundas!
Top right; old Dundas station and section house across the tracks. Hwy 8 coming down the hill on the left. A lot to see in this view.
Power on "VIA" #72 is CN 4017 and VIA 6621.
The area mentioned 'down below' the track is now a housing complex.

  1. Oh for the days when you could wander and climb at will and if you fell and were injured or even killed the corporations wouldn’t care because it was your own silly fault.
    Liability reform changed all that and the railways must now go to great lengths to keep you off their property in case something should happen.
    A good shot that shows the area very well.

  2. A lot to see in this view indeed. Very cool

  3. Is that one of the ex Reading ‘Crusader’ cars tucked in behind 6621? Bad film? I’ve come to the realization that bad film is better than NO film! Great panoramic shot, BTW.
