This location has long been on my bucket list. The picturesque trestle over the Folly River at East Mines NS about 14 rail miles west of Truro NS. Seen here is the head-end of CN Z120 on May 31st 2023, with CN 3101 and CN (ex-CREX) 2761 and 534 axles (DPU CN 3020 is mid-train.) This was part of a day out with Halifax area railfan Geoff Doane where we chased this train from the New Brunswick border close to 140 km to south of Truro. In that distance we shot this train six times then had lunch in Truro and lucked into an encounter with CBNS train 305 arriving in the yard there, and finally shot CN L507 five times starting at this trestle all the way to Painsec Junction just a few kms short of Moncton NB.
