Description: |
Winding up a very satisfying day of train chasing is this delicious 'Black Widow' IC 1000 SD70 leading Train 531 today. Here, the train passes under the Schisler Road overpass at Silverthorn Court - where I climbed onto a pile of ballast rocks for a better angle. |

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! |
