Caption: Upon checking out Niagara Falls one afternoon, I happened to see a train coming over the steel arch bridge into Canada, and with short notice really having nowhere to go; I just parked in a public lot and waited for it to come into Niagara. The power is CP 8236, 8211, 5554 and 5716. Fortunately at the extreme left in the photo is the location ID; the old Rosbergs Department store at the corner of Queen & Erie Sts. This landmark burned down in 2009, having been closed since 1988.
All locomotives pictured are of course off the roster now: 8236 re'd 2002, 8211 re'd 2015-sold to Rail Trust; 5554,re'd 1999 to DME ; and 5716 re'd 2008.

Excellent exposure for a grey day Arnold. The front of the 8236 is super clear.
