There's something inviting when railway and a sidewalk are side by side with no fencing and well manicured landscaping exists, almost like the two can actually co-exist as opposed to Metrolinx' want to fence everything off with impunity. This scene along Cardigan St in Guelph is one of my faves in town.

    Nicely done on 1400.

    Hard to believe there used to be multiple tracks and industries here (image circa 1940): https://guelph.pastperfectonline.com/photo/38F09488-11AB-4B0A-ADC7-162141839746

    Note the hopper for Kloepfer Coal!

    lots of tracks and the doodlebug parked nearby too.

    I believe the leftmost track was from the CN Guelph Town spur and the crossovers were to access CN tracks on the other side. CN had a spur that accessed the lower downtown businessess and went quite a distance toward the CPR freight shed area.

    Really nice picture.
    As a photographer, I am no fan of fencing and bridge handrails.
    However recognizing the disruption and expense that each trespass and vandalism incident causes GO / Metrolinx, their views on fencing along high speed rail corridors and yards are understandable.
