After switching Kemira Waterworks and Canroof, CN 543 gets ready to head down to Keating for a break before returning to Oakville. Probably one of the most interesting locations to railfan in Toronto, 543 is idling directly in the middle of Lakeshore Avenue between Carlaw Avenue and Leslie Street. Luckily for the would be Toronto driver, this move nearly always occurs at night, yet it still tends to stir a bit of chaos. A downpour was occurring at the time, and it was wreaking havoc on my lens, as well as the street lights and reflections on the road. Nonetheless, I don't mind how it turned out. Thanks a bunch to the crew for their help.

    Thanks guys! I do have to give some credit to Mike. When I feel comfortable around the crew, I always get better shots, especially when I know what the crew is about to do. I haven’t had that luck with 546 on the GECO recently, so I’m still trying there.

    As I add my “star” to this image, Daniel, I have to say a number of us don’t mind how that photo turned out, either !!!
