Eastport
Hamilton's 1600 yard job is as far north as you can possibly get by rail, in Hamilton. If you believe the signs on the QEW behind me, this shot was taken in Burlington.
This shot took some doing, because it has to be done on one of the two days of the week which CN goings to the Eastport area, and in needs to be cloudy as its the afternoon and my cameras pointing due west. Even then, it's not a guarantee that they'll use the run around at the extreme north end of the Eastport area. But, due to the ports security this area is not largely accessible for photos. So I gave it a few changes and got lucky, or so I thought.
I've been hesitant to share this photo here as it's not sharp. I was clearly beyond my cameras capabilities in this situation, which is unfortunate. But even more unfortunate, this shot isn't really repeatable anymore with some construction going on in the foreground.
