The James Street station is actually the third station to service Hamilton's original train line. Replacing two previous stations on the other side of James Street originally built by Great Western Railway and Grand Trunk Railway. The new Canadian National Station followed elements of Neoclassical design with Beaux-Arts and Art Deco elements. The grand station opened in 1931 with great fanfare and offered Hamilton residents a great deal of class with columned waiting rooms, terrazzo floors, brass ornamentation and a full dining room. By the 1960s passenger services had been cut and the mail and parcel wing began a freight car maintenance facility, and GO Transit took over commuter traffic in 1967. VIA Rail took a lease on the station in 1985, but move to Aldershot in 1992. GO Transit relocated to the Hunter Station in 1992 and Canadian National ceased all operations in 1993. The station only saw restoration thanks to the action film the Long Kiss Goodnight who in 1996 offered Canadian National a million for restoration. LIUNA ended up completing the work, putting an additional three million into the station, which reopened in 2000 as an event and banquet venue.

Photographs made while exploring and documenting Ohio’s State Nature Preserve system. Some of the only places left in the state where nature remains uninterrupted. These lands are underappreciated, underfunded, but rich with a subtle beauty that I revere with my view camera.

Completed in 1856, the Port Hope Station is a Grand Trunk Class B Wayside Station with a six-bay design. Constructed of local limestone in the Italianate Style, the station saw the addition of a telegraph bay in 1881. While threatened with demolition in 1978, funding mean for the construction of a new simple shelter by Canadian National instead went towards restoration in 1980. Today it is one of only two operational Grand Trunk Stations and one of nine surviving original GTR stations in Ontario.

This was taken near small waterfalls, place normally crowded, but currently is quite lonely. Mamyia 7II, FP4+, in Pyrocat-hd, printed on Fomabrom var. 111 in Moersch ECO.
After my first trip to Hocking Hills last April, there have been an additional 4 trips made, and it's all due to the scenery!
Seen here are the Lower Falls, at the opposite end of the Old Man's Cave Upper Falls. This trail is a joy to hike on, especially early morning, when it's just you, the meandering stream, and nature! At the same time this was taken, there was also a frame captured to be converted to DR5 Chrome. In the end, the chromes look 10x as amazing as the B&W negative!

It's amazing what a little precipitation and frigid air can do to an otherwise boring scene. Just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Fat Man's Squeeze, this tiny falls proved quite the site for ice buildup.

"He had a fixed conviction that at least one of them must lead into summer weather. Each time this meant that I had to go around with him to each of eleven doors, hold it open while he satisfied himself that it was winter out that way, too,then go on to the next door, while his criticisms of my mismanagement grew more bitter with each disappointment."
