  1. Now that is remarkable. It was hard enough to catch a train on that bridge, let alone a pair of cabooses as shown and a sunny perfect day as well.
    Beautiful editing, Jacob.

  2. That is just an amazing photo.

  3. I’m wondering if Wabash/N&W vans regularly appeared on CN or vice versa on the Cayuga. Interesting catchy either way.

  4. Arnold, these slides held up well. Just a touch of brightening and slight colour saturation. Not much dust either.

  5. Jacob, that’s because these slides were never out of the metal slide box for over 50 years. Thanks to you they are now seeing the light of day. Thank you everyone for your nice comments, but really, all I did was aim my trusty Pentax camera and push the button. Thanks to Kodak Kodachrome and Pentax, producers of high quality film and a good camera. Mother Nature had a hand what with blue skies and sunshine, John

  6. Did you have a K-1000, John ?? Most all of us did back then.

  7. The 906 foot long bridge now carries the Cayuga Grand Vista Trail providing nice views of the Grand River.

  8. Thanks for the update Terry, glad to hear that the bridge still exists and is being put to good use, John
