Caption: I have to admit it. I rarely get luckier than this. Back in 1994 the cross-border shopping experience was almost a frenzy. There were lineups both ways on the bridges with the one-day shopping trips. I had been over to get gas at 'Smokin' Joes' as well as pick up a few groceries. So here I am waiting on the Whirlpool Rapids bridge, about centre, heck, maybe still in the States; and out of the corner of my eye I see a train bound for the US!! And I am in a perfect position to shoot right out the car window. CP 4223, 4224 and 1848 come into view and this is the result. Camera handy on the front seat, as always. And it paid off. This was the best shot I was able to get from this bridge, and it can never happen again. The rail bridge is abandoned and the road bridge is Nexus Card only.

Great one Arnold. Thanks for sharing !
Never seen this shot before and I love it.
angle* instead of shot blah.
Nicely framed grab shot.
Most interesting and unusual view Arnold. Walked a number of times across the bridge on the wooden sidewalk, sometimes with 2 young children, to the CanAm mailbox just on the south side of the bridge you took this picture from after taking the NY bound Maple Leaf from Toronto, but never saw a train on the ex-MCRR bridge while doing so. This picture shows nicely some of the steel girder work holding up the CN rail deck above and the fancy sidewalk railing. For a “grab” shot, this is great ! Thanks for posting, John
Thanks, John. Just one of those things. I got lucky. What can I say? Nice power, too.
