Cool shot. Thanks for sharing. It reminds me of my train drawings when I was a kid

Rare – most shots on the Cayuga sub are NS or N&W trains… CN seemed to only run a roadswitcher

Last year I passed this every day on my ride to school. Its all overgrown now, and the bridge hard to see if you’re not looking for it. This is awesome, thanks for posting!
