Nice work Marcus.
I loved this spot, but only got to shoot here twice. Dave Parker has a nice shot of a pair of Conrail Geeps working the interchange here in the 1980s. Sad it’s all removed now.
The year after I started on CP, I worked the Woodstock/Port Burwell Job on & off for a few years. Sometimes, we would get cars off the interchange near this spot. They were 89 ft. container flates destined for Livingston’s Plant immediately south of this spot. We sometimes took lunch in a little place called the “Coffee Pot” near CP’s station. When the Amtrak train passed here it was usually going about 75mph. One day in the Coffee Pot we were talking to a Conrail Signal maintainer. I mentioned Amtrak,& he said “I wouldn’t ride that train for a million bucks, the track is in awful shape”. A lot has changed in nearly 50 years.
