Backcountry Bluffs

Eastbound manifest CPKC 420 cruises by the station sign at Pogamasing beneath the towering bluffs rising up from the Canadian Shield.

 

For those unfamiliar with it, the Canadian Shield is a massive, ancient expanse of exposed Precambrian bedrock covering vast swaths of northern Ontario, Quebec, and other parts if Canada, generally centered around Hudson Bay. It's characterized by rocky terrain, boreal forests and countless lakes and rivers due to glacier scouring.

 

Pogamasing is the perfect example of all of these features in just about their purest form, otherwise untouched outside of the trivial steel ribbons running through them - MP 20 CPKC Nemegos Sub.
