This section of the trail is always cool and shady, even when the sun is out and the sky is blue. It is a moment of respite from the heat, although it is usually very quiet with little bird song.
Trail 10, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. July 2022.
This will most probably be the last of my trip postings.....so I though I'd go out with a dramatic type shot ....I had made a few b/w with the purple and orange filters on.....I love the detail of this magnificent old hotel against the big and puffy clouds....
Thank you for all of the great comments you have left me regarding my trip to Ottawa and Montreal.... you are the best.
A southbound rack train makes its way down the CSX Toledo Subdivision on a sunny Winter afternoon, passing the Baltimore & Ohio CPL's south of Ottawa, Ohio.
Following the gentle contours of the Ottawa Valley, a pair of G&W GP38-2s hustle along OVR's scenic North Bay Subdivision with an eighteen-car train for the paper mill at Témiscaming, Quebec. It's hard to believe that this stretch of railroad was once a part of Canadian Pacific's transcontinental mainline.

Parliament Hill colloquially known as The Hill, is an area of Crown land on the southern banks of the Ottawa River in downtown Ottawa, Ontario. Its Gothic revival suite of buildings serves as the home of the Parliament of Canada and contains a number of architectural elements of national symbolic importance. Parliament Hill attracts approximately 3 million visitors each year. Originally the site of a military base in the 18th and early 19th centuries, development of the area into a governmental precinct began in 1859, after Queen Victoria chose Bytown as the capital of the Province of Canada. Following a number of extensions to the parliament and departmental buildings and a fire in 1916 that destroyed the Centre Block, Parliament Hill took on its present form with the completion of the Peace Tower in 1927.
