CN 2669
Title:  CN 2669
Description:  As I head for retirement in the Niagara area, I look forward to spending more time at this cool CN yard (also a home to CSX and Norfolk Western locos) - right at the International Bridge linking tracks between USA and Canada. Great railroad history and remnants to investigate and explore - not only on the Canadian side, but just across the border in Buffalo too!
