Classic shot!
What’s the foreground track?
That foreground track was a stub, as it dead-ended only about 20-30 ft to the left of this scene. It was connected to the main at the west end, out of sight on the right, and did a bit of a loop rather than being straight. I am under the assumption that it led into the old Waterdown station although I am not exactly sure where that building was. There was an Esso storage last I recall, and the last time I saw anything on this track was in early 1974 when it was chock full of boarding cars.
And, if that mound in front of you is the old Waterdown Rd. level crossing, that means just out of picture to the right is where the old CN station stood, across from the cold storage. Station was removed around 1970, I presume….?
Thats right, Todd. It was removed well before I went looking for it in 1974. Just out of sight was the team track that went in behind the station. There was a couple of industries there as well………I do remember an Esso gas storage place.
Kinkelder was the old Niagara Brand sprayers.They used to store new ones on the old freight building at Burlington
