Caption: CP 8036, 8834 and 8774 lead a short CPKC #101 northbound from Toronto Yard to Vaughan Intermodal Terminal to pick up the rest of their train, having just received yarding instruction from VIT and entering the siding at Elder South. A cut of ballast gondolas with excavator are tacked on the head end ahead of six intermodal cars.

The train is passing some of the farmlands and old farms in the northwest area of Vaughan (former farming hamlet of Elder's Mills) that will soon be suburban housing developments when progress pushes further north. There's no shortage of housing encroaching in the distance, and the downtown skylines of Toronto and Vaughan (VMC) are also visible.

While the lands here are still farmed for now, this farm itself sees little activity. Research shows it was last owned by long-time residents George and Fern Wardlaw (George passed away in 2022 at the age of 96). Aerial imagery shows multiple old farmhouses and residences on site (inter-generational families?), all of which were cleared after 2009 when farming operations wound down and the property sold, leaving the old barns for occasional use by construction and limited farming operations. A very rusty old farm truck sits by the tracks greeting every passing train, a relic remaining from decades past until the developers come knocking.
