Caption: An image fitting for a "White Christmas" scene, this was actually taken on March 1, 2005 at Nelles Rd., in Grimsby. A nice wet snow created a pleasant setting for what would be a normally dull NS lashup of 9800 and 6611 heading Stateside with NS autoparts train #328 which used to run between Talbotville and Buffalo, and due to the chances of interesting power was a favourite with the fans.
The train is now discontinued, and the magnificient row of trees shown was flattened by a ferocious windstorm a couple of years ago.
The train is pictured coming onto the single track stretch between Grimsby and Jordan.
