Railpictures.ca - Stephen C. Host Photo: VIA 85 blasts out of Kitchener with Amtrak 29 in the lead passing the Airboss factory which had rail service until CN took over. I only had two to three weeks to photograph this train with my good camera after getting it in March 2004 and I pretty much photographed it every work day as I followed the train into town. Airboss no longer has rail service, but back in the day they got both CN and CP service (Grand River Railway, would have also been electric!) as the CP/GRR underpass with CNR was at the west end of the factory. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Nice capture with the Airboss plant. This shot is almost impossible to do now with all the overgrowth in there currently.

That’s right, I tried doing this again. No go.
