All the extra notches on the old telephone poles tell the tel of just how important they once were. NS train 327 is seen digging into the grade as it follows the unused pole line along CN's Dundas subdivision at Copetown. The train has about a mile to go before it will stop climbing the Niagara Escarpment, with a final destination of Talbotville. Relatively clean former Conrail SD60I 6727 is on the point as it and a standard cab Dash-9 roll along the frozen landscape.

    Yeah, the poles were important in their day but that one closest was always a pain in the butt.

    It was also interesting how the closest pole to the foot bridge at Bayview one day ended up on the ground with a nice clean cut through it, LOL. Must have been a railroader that was also a Railfan.
