Caption: Typical 'back in the day' was this weekend passenger westbound #75. Sunday it could feature an unheard of today 20 coaches behind 4 units. In this view, VIA 6763, 6620 and CN 3107, 3125 pass Dundas Peak; not stopping at the Dundas Station, which is just out of sight to my left. In the foreground the sumach is beginning to get just a bit taller, after falling victim to the CN brushcutting every year until recent. Another couple of years and this angle would be lost to runaway foliage, as CN gave up on keeping the hillside clear. It must have been part of an austerity program or something. It is a real shame. This was a great spot for photos.
