Cliffside Freight
Must every train photo include a locomotive? Of course not....and especially with a manifest train I like to keep my camera ready for an old fallen flag logo or just to show the train in its environment.
While this train had no particular noteworthy freight cars it was a nice classic mixed freight that was heavy on tank cars, and the model railroad like scene required more than just a head end photo, don't you concur?
This is southbound daily St. Luc Yard Montreal to Saratoga Springs manifest train 252 on a gloomy but colorful morning about 0745 AM. This is about MP 144.75 as measured from Albany, NY on modern day Canadian Pacific's Canadian Mainline. This famous locale is known as the Red Rocks high above Willsboro Bay on the west shore of Lake Champlain along the former Delaware and Hudson Railroad mainline that was completed as a through route to Canada in 1875.
