Caption: I was a very spoiled Railfan in the early 2000's. Little did I know how good I had it. SD40-2's were on just about every other train, the GEVO invasion wasn't on the radar - EMD's were everywhere. We had annual visits from the Royal Canadian Pacific and/or CPR 2816, heck 2816 was in Toronto just one week later on June 12 2004 and I went for a ride from Aberdeen to Welland. However, the one thing I didn't have much of was photography skill. Most good photos I managed to take in this timeframe was mostly beginners luck. I had yet to find my footings, and while I knew what looked good, I just lacked the experience to find a great photo location and compose it properly. But sometimes, just sometimes I managed something good. This photo is surprising for many reasons, that I chose to shoot RAW - which meant I KNEW it was good - that I composed it without any weeds or other obstructions, and that it is in fact located in Guelph - what you see is the dolostone cap of an ancient seabed - in essence it's the same formation you'd find in the Niagara Escarpment but in an unusual location. With OSR Employee Brad Jolliffe piloting a CPR Crew, a dozen of us are standing on the ground, everyone except for me a patron of the train that day - for when the train backed up to pick up their passengers, I was the sole photographer left standing, no other local railfans were present, to my amazement. If this happened today... could you imagine the crowd? We were all spolied back then and I think this tells the story to why.
