I don't remember why I was so late grabbing this shot; but the southbound, err..make that EASTbound trains drift down around a curve just before the station. I might have been snoozing on the rocks opposite the station and not heard it until the last minute.  Best excuse I can think of. The rocks were a nice comfortable place to lie back and listen to the scanner when I felt I should not be wandering in and out of the station.
Anyway, just in the nick of time, before the train blocked out the "Parry Sound" sign; CP 5947, 4227 and 5517 look good on a nice fall day.
