    This is interesting. The overhead signals weren’t even installed yet in this image!

    The father and son watching the train adds a very nice human interest element to this image… wonderful!

    Classic green/yellow livery—I wish CN would create some heritage units in the old colours

    It’s amazing that while a lot has changed here, so much remains relatively unaltered. Beautiful image!

    This photo is a great composition and a wonderful time capsule. As a result it was selected by the team for Editors Choice and is now in our “fantastic” section. Thank you Bill for sharing this gem.

    The green and yellow with a maple leaf is the best CNR paint scheme. I too, believe some heritage locomotives should be added.
