Canadian Pacific's locomotive 7021, painted to honour the Canadian and US Armies passes through brilliant fall colours as the crew of train 246 gingerly guides their train down the 2% downward grade of the Niagara Escarpment. This area is a fall foliage paradise, and to reflect this here's a shot I did in 2010 just a bit north at Snake Rd framed in the now rebuilt wooden bridge. Get it while you still can, it'll all be gone in about a week or less.

    Kevin – moments before this train passed a Coyote was running down the tracks. I was expecting you to show up moments later :)

    (Last time I saw him, he was in a spot where I had seen coyotes only moments before)

    Road Runner, the coyote’s after you.
    Road Runner, if he catches you you’re through. :-)
