Railpictures.ca - Marcus W Stevens Photo: Aldershot East was I nice go to location if one missed a train working the yard, even if not all that scenic. unfortunately when the subdivision was rebuilt, the crossing at King Road was turned into a bridge. Back in 2006 it was still a level crossing and came in handy after catching CN 390 with a power set off CSX consisting of a former SP SD45 rebuilt into a SD40 for CEFX, trailing it was a CSX SD50. The power has just finished making a lift at Aldershot yard and now has a nice cut of rebuilt GT boxcars up front. The train is passing the soon to be removed signal bridge as a third main track will soon be installed in its place. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Very nice. I shot at this location a few times over the last year. Unfortunately, I never shot there when it was a level crossing. The shot is still doable today but not as convenient.
