Caption: A wave from a friendly head end Via crew as Via #44 scoots under the recently rehabilitated ancient Lakeshore Road road bridge, mile 284.3 CN Kingston Subdivision, 13:07 March 22, 2012. Decades of old growth vegetation has been removed with CN installing fresh timber cribbing, new drainage and some new timber planking - and this bridge appeared old to this photographer in the 70's! (bridge must be really old by now!). One - one thousandths of a second 'shutter' speed is barely sufficient to freeze the eighty plus m.p.h. ten year old P42DC Via #908 with six nineteen fourties era Budd built stainless steel cars (long live Budd!). Now if we can get GE and Via to match up those stripes! Nikon D5000 with a Nikkor 50mm F2 lens. Photographer S. Danko.
