Railpictures.ca - A.W. Mooney Photo: It was rare enough getting a ‘meet’ right in front of me let alone a meet of cabeese. Further, both freight cars are of the old Central Vermont vintage, now, of course, a fallen flag. The boxcar on the right, the more I look at the door on it, the more I image a ‘face’ and ‘shoulders’ on it. An illusion? See it? Perhaps it is just me. Could be time I changed my brand of beer. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Yes, you are correct. Much too overgrown these days for any photos though. Also, I forgot to mention in the caption that the closest track, removed probably 20+ years ago; was where in the steam days pushers were stationed in order to assist heavy freights westbound up the Dundas grade. Later years saw it utilized as a storage stub for MoW equipment.

This MR. M., is an amazing shot. Almost a reflection (I’ll leave the image in the boxcar door-which I can see by the way) of each train. You must have been excited to get it. Were big meets like that common at Bayview then?

Meets at Bayview could be considered common back then if you took into consideration that a lot of trains were held at the junction signal off the Dundas for activity on the line to and from Niagara. This was something of a hot-spot many years back due to all the local moves; wyeing of cars & power out Hamilton, all those local passenger trains, also #401 each morning backed all the way out of Hamilton each mid-morning with a 40-80 car train and then proceeded westward up the hill at Dundas; and so forth. More remarkable than all the rail traffic in the 1980s is where it has all gone to……..Catching cabeese in passing such as this shot was something I rarely got to see though.
