Railpictures.ca - Geoff Elliott Photo: Cheater shot… VIA Train #71 crosses the bridge east of Duck Creek just outside of Belle River. #71 is actually being led by cab control car #2312, but the shot of the #2212 loco pushing on the rear made for a much nicer shot, making this a decent ‘cheater’. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Very nice scenic picture – well done ! Like the “VIA” reflection in the water, and a glimpse of Lake St Clair, well framed photo. John
