This has quickly became my favourite photo I've taken. Ontario Southland Railway pulls out of the south industrial spur in Guelph While the Goderich and Exeter waits for them to clear so they can have there turn down the spur.
I wish I had my good camera instead of my cell phone but 41MP cell phone camera will do
Here's an Indiana Railroad "road slug". I only heard that term for the first time in my life the day I took this photo. Photo taken in the Palestine, IL rail yard.
