Great shot. If I were to stand there today, would this be Princess St looking towards Colborne St in Chatham?

Not quite. The train is about to cross the C&O/CPR diamond. About 10 carlengths back, the train is occupying Princess St. To the right of the engines, is the dead end portion of Murray St, which turns into the driveway entrance for CPR access. The crossbuck marked where the C&O “Dover spur” swung around the northwest corner of the diamond.
