Viewing Album:  Ontario Trains - Niagara Region - September/October 2020
 
By:Neil Barratt
Dates:9/1/2020 - 10/31/2020
Album Info:CN, CP and Trillium Railways share the spotlight, with a sprinkle of fall colors to spruce things up a bit. Sadly, there is a more somber element to this album - my encounter with deadlines at CN Southern yard, where 28 members of the CN Dash-8 diesel family await the scrapper's torch.
