GEXR Train 582 is crossing the Speed River at Hespeler Ontario on a railway built in 1854 to reach Guelph from Galt. No expenses were spared on this portion of the railway - a substantial structure compared to rickety wooden bridges you typically see on Branches. I'm standing basically on the Grand River Railway right of way which ended at Hespeler and crossed the CN at grade just beyond the bridge.

I'm standing basically on the Grand River Railway right of way which ended at Hespeler and crossed the CN at grade just beyond the bridge at my left. 582, heading timetable South - has 8 cars in tow for Hunts Haulage, located at Eagle St in Cambridge and receives two switches per day from 582, along with the other customers in the area keeping the boys busy..

  1. I am amazed at the beautiful scene you could create just using a dawddily little branch-line train as the main focus. Very well done.

  2. Thank you Sir :) I’ve recreated this with CN finally.
