Shots of CP's Trenton Turn (or the Turd to the foamer set) switching Sabic plastics outside of Cobourg, Ontario. Always wanted to shoot something on this spur:

That shot is gorgeous, catching the cars while being spotted... nice.

Glorietta. Apache canyon to be precise. It's one of my favorite rail lines, it's a shame only Amtrak runs there anymore.

Caught IT when it was running those hoppers empty eastbound.


 About 20 minutes later PRR came westward with a block of empty tank cars.
