Ancient CASCO “Canada Starch” tank cars roll into St. Thomas on the Canada Air Line (former CN Cayuga Sub) for one last time. After spending years tucked away at an industry in Tillsonburg, nature’s elements have patinated these railroad relics. Nonetheless, CSTX 33 and 36 (built 9/65 and 12/68, respectively), once again turn their wheels as the “Cayuga Clipper” clears out the remaining cars on the line. The last train between St. Thomas to Tillsonburg is planned to operate on 04/30. Sadly, the process of abandonment is to follow.

found this guy out in the woods all shot up - so I shot him again!

;~))

I love how this one came out…

On a windy day, with the sound of the tin roof creating an enormous amount of noise, this was truly a stunning place...

Over the last six weeks, I've struggled as a fall on ice put a tear on the rotary cup on my left shoulder.

Take my advice... Don't let this happen to you! The fall was slight... the pain has been immense! Now that the healing has begun, I can spend more time on Flickr again....

Sun-bleached and salt-bitten, these news racks are like washed-up relics, once humming with headlines, now just skeletons on the sidewalk.

Paint curls, rust spreads, hinges seize — yet fresh papers still land behind the cloudy glass.

brake master cylinder from 1974 Harley. Had to really wail on it to take it apart it was so rusty. Even steel wool couldn't get all the rust off. The part acts as a reservoir for brake fluid which goes in the top. Even the inside was rusty. HMM

Still showing some blue and a Conrail can opener, the ELS 401 continues to rust away outside the shop building in Escanaba as a deteriorating part source for the railroads few operating GP38-2s.
