A set of four BuddCars are seen Toronto-bound from Niagara Falls at the rarely photographed Sixteen Mile Pond bridge; one which is vastly overshadowed in popularity by the larger bridge at Jordan Harbour. This location is not visible from the roadway, and is off-limits as to private property on both sides. VIA passenger service has been discontinued along this route. Only Amtrak prevails, plus of course, a couple of morning freights each way.

    I bet those Budds were like GO’s old loco power…ho-hum to shoot until they vanished from most of the Southern Ontario lines :)

    It’s too bad GO doesn’t have similar but updated trains like this to serve Niagara and other less busy lines.

    Don’t remember if I have any Budds at Merritton or not. But I will watch for some when going thru old photos. The Budds were a long way from my favourite subjects when trackside. :o )

    Is this the bridge that was planned to be blown up by terrorists?

    If any bridge was going to be blown, you’d suspect it would be the one at Jordan; but the Sixteen Mile is secluded. A lot of hanky-panky there might go unnoticed.
