Caption: Besides using this website, I'll often use Google Earth to find new places to photograph trains. It's become a valuable tool of mine to plan my shots ahead of time. In this particular instance I found a pair of old wooden bridges in Wesleyville that carry Stacey Road over the parallel CN Kingston Subdivision and CP Belleville Subdivision. Sadly, Google's 2018 satellite imagery hadn't reflected the destruction of the Belleville Sub bridge yet, which I discovered on my first visit in the fall of 2020. I later heard from friends that its removal could be attributed to a massive hole that developed in the middle of the bridge. Now that the remaining bridge serves no real purpose I fear this will spell its end, similar to what happened at nearby Nichols Road years ago. Needless to say, I felt I had to get some shots in at this location while I could.

I returned about a week later when the fall colours were at their peak, which I think made this rather unremarkable location significantly better. A grove of trees on the left had decided to become some of the brightest orange I'd seen all season, so I went a little out of my way to include that in the shot. Funny enough, it almost perfectly matches the paint scheme of the CN locomotives. The train is Q147, which had only been running for about a month or two at that point.
