    Very nice. Love the contrast of the early CN scheme with the Red PSC van. I can imagine the head end of this train is near or crossing Gage Ave considering how long it is!

    This picture just looks like an industrial paradise. So much to look at and the water towers….

    I know Hamilton has its moments today but this just looks great.
