Railpictures.ca - A.W.Mooney Photo: From high above the tracks at mile 4 Dundas sub, this scene with westbound CN 3151, 3150 Tempo train was a nice image on a cold almost-winter morning. The overhead conveyor belt structure (Canada Crushed Stone) from which I took this photo was dismantled more than 20 years ago, making this a somewhat historical image. That is the Sydenham Rd bridge in the background. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

This is nice. Tracks at right lead to Hamilton and Dundas/TH&B?

That lower track was part of Steetleys (Dolomite Refractories) yard track, and it extended over to a connection with the TH&B line at one time. This came in from Aberdeen along Hatt St in Dundas and began its life a long time back as the Hamilton & Brantford trolley line I believe. Connection with the CN I remember was at the west end, removed in August of 1985.
