Well wouldn't you know, while I was on vacation last week I ended up finding Amtrak 130 on VIA 97 to my surprise, and decided what the heck, I should chase this thing. My first stop was Grimsby, and getting there with more than enough time to spare I could clear the weeds from in front of the Grimsby CN sign. Notice the wild flowers growing at the bottom right, and the wild Mooney on the platform at left. Good to see you Mr. Mooney :) CN 421 would be right behind the Amtrak and I had to continue my chase to NF.

    Great photo…but holy heck….wish the railway invested in proper upkeep of their road beds….look at all that brush! Wasnt like that on my last visit…but that was 20 years ago!

    Keep the ‘wild Mooney’ though….hear it’s one of his kind! ????
