Description: |
Holiday Monday Northlander approaches McCowan Road. Unfortunately, the protest STOP signs painted onto the Northlander locomotives would offer little protection from a government bent on shutting this line down, despite having all kinds of money to waste on all kinds of other political pet projects. |

Just had to head out this morning to catch the last Ontario Northlander train heading for Cochrane. Sad day for railfans. Actually quite a crowd gathering at my usual hangout at McCowan Road, so I headed for Mount Albert overpass to get a more majestic panorama. |
