The Stuff Of Dreams
I first became aware of this whole Agawa Canyon Tour train thing a few years ago when shots of it went rather viral in the community. Since then, I haven't had the funds to go out so far and COVID sidelined the tour train for a couple years anyway. This time around, things would be different. I swooped up my fiance and headed north into the great land of Ontario for 9 days of railroading in fall colors. We rode the tour train the day prior to this, and after 9 hours of extremely cramped and uncomfortable riding, extremely obscured views, and very mid food we were ready to just get outside and chase the damn thing instead. Chase we did, as fog broke to sun and back again on the quick run north towards the wilderness of Algoma country. This railroad is a railfans dream, with curves everywhere, grades, trestles, and enough trackside goodies to keep the average foamer satisfied. The matched set of F40PH's hauling 17 cars packed full of forcefully socialized tourists might just have been the most photogenic thing I've ever shot on rails to boot. This trip was a fuckin blast man.
