Caption: A Christmas visit back to Nova Scotia let me get out and shoot some of the weekday-only action that I rarely shot when I lived there. The main goal was the gypsum trains that ran between the quarry at Milford and the shipping pier at Wright's Cove. In 1987 you could chase and intercept the train a couple times in the 30-some miles between the quarry and Wright's Cove, not too likely you could do that today. Here's the loaded train with the typical locomotive consist of a pair of big MLWs trailing about 50 cars and van rolling between Elmsdale and Endfield.
