Railpictures.ca - Marcus W Stevens Photo: It’s been way too long since I’ve spent time here. I remember in my early years the tracks still existed here behind the demolished station site. The old crumbling platform disappearing in the weeds. Unfortunately I’m a week or two too late for lush autumn colours but I’m not complaining. The sound of a GE and EMD tackling the Niagara Escarpment is music to my ears. Dundas certainly has a certain charm, and always will. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Yes, Marcus; it has been “way too long” for me as well. Looks more like a barren wasteland of weeds around there now, looking at this image.
But there is still some nice colour on the cliff and it helps make for a nice scene. Like you, I used to love wandering this location. What a shame it is not the magnet it once was.

Ahhh…Dundas. Great little photo and I’d agree…nothing compares to the sound of any engine tackling the Niagara escarpment. Sadly, former station sites and / or yards and platforms look like barren ‘wastelands’. One such area that reminds me of this is the old station site in Strathroy too.

However, I will have to take s look through my archives as I might have a gem of a shot for Dundas that would be comparable to how things were.

You know you’ve got a great photo when it sparks so much conversation!
