I have to admit, I do like cloudy day images.
This is a wonderful shot that I’m guessing might have been tricky on a sunny day (?) I like the way you captured the train mid crossing, the big all-GM consist and the pops of colour on an otherwise dreary spring day.
Thanks, Aitch: You are once again very observant.(starting to make me wonder….) This particular shot is only attainable in the early morning at certain times of the year when the sun is out. Otherwise, the sun is off to my left and setting on that side as well. There is no place to stand on the other side of the track either, which is why I have never submitted or even shot from the other side here. Before posting this I made sure the train was indeed running in the direction which will take it to the US of A.
Merry Christmas to all…..
Hahaha Mr. Mooney ! And a Merry Christmas to you and everyone !
This is grassie! We just moved a year prior. I lived a couple km east by mountain and mud road.
Really? I thought Grassie was at Mud St and Grassie Rd where the old businesses used to be…….and the station!
CP 6013 is also still on the roster, has been dormant in Montreal for a couple years. I sure do miss SOO power!
Yeah, in the traditional sense, you’re right.
But I lived at 3467 Mountain Road, and our mailing address and post office was “Grassie Ontario” at the now closed tack shop. We’re in that cluster of newer homes in the corner, the biggest one was ours. While we did go to Smithville for Chinese food (it was closer than Grimsby) we didn’t associate with Smithville at all.
We had a Grassie address but Grimsby services.
That spot changed quite a bit in the few years around this time you shot it. Buildings in the background all changed, as well the powerlines at right were removed.
I could see the trains here from my bedroom window, as distant as they were they sounded great. I only lived there for a bit of highschool and summers only, otherwise I had moved to Guelph for school not long after we moved here, then my parents ditched the place for Beamsville in ’01 by the lake.
I wondered if you had the right crossing.
On my left would be Superior Propane.
It is. I wondered too but it all marks otherwise. I do remember those power lines. I hung out here a bit around this time.
Very nice. I like the way you included the crossing signals.
