I'm assuming this is a Hamilton to Brantford local, even though it is powered by Geeps I used to see hanging out at Fort Erie. The 4560 and 4521 are seen westbound about mile 4, Dundas Sub. That is the Sydenham Rd bridge in the background. The image was captured from high above in that old Canada Crushed Stone structure that ferried crushed rock over the track to the stockpiles on the south side. Long gone.

    Awesome Arnold…simply a great view! This is one shot you won’t ever have to worry about someone trying to manipulate for the Time Machine…unless they have one of those flying drone thingys ;)

    Beauty Arnold. Always enjoyed looking at the CCS conveyor building on the hill side.
    Arnold have you ever taking a CN shot from the Sydenham Rd bridge?
    Thanks for another great shot. Bill

    Yes, thb401, I have shot a couple of eastbounds off the Sydenham bridge, but they are difficult. Not so much the angle, but the road traffic. Good place to get run over. :o ) Thanks for positive comments, guys.

    Note the Burlington Skyway in the far background of the photo. And in 1982 there was only the one bridge!

    Great picture Mr. Mooney!! Was just at this location Sunday, though certainly no way to enjoy the vantage point you had! Either way still nice to get out and enjoy this area.

    Thanks, Paul. I’ve not wandered that area in the past year or so on a nice day and wondered how busy it is with foot traffic. Last time I was at “The Peak” there was enough people to fill a subway car. Wilderness…NOT!

    Mr. Mooney, on Sunday the peak was pretty packed and plenty of foot traffic below where I was. Still peaceful at times though.
