Railpictures.ca - Marcus W Stevens Photo: The crew inside the cab of VIA F40 #6451 give a friendly wave as they roll past one of the derails at Copetown. The train will soon crest the grade up the Escarpment as it passes a pair of empty service tracks and the old feed mill at Copetown. The track to the far right once served the old elevator here and also went around the towns long demolished station. Today the service tracks here see little use. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

The train just passed over the permanent 30mph slow order. There is an underground river just west of that overpass. In the good old days there was a foreman based there 24/7(the shack is still there) to monitor the levels of the river which had flodded over the tracks at various times. Now thanks to technology it is monitored by sensors.
