Flare up: Nova Chemicals SW1200, probably #902 is switching the large facility near Mooretown, Ontario. A large flare is burning in the background - these large flares are rather rare especially during the daytime hours. You could see this burning for over 30 KM. Consider the size of the flare, distance away from the locomotive and photographer - it is easily over 50 feet tall. Photo taken from public property (Nearby road)
