I had a chance to chase (well, it's not much of a chase, certainly not a high-speed one!) CP's train from Smiths Falls tonight. CP was spotting an NYC boxcar of groceries at Quattrocchi's Specialty Foods, an empty gondola for scrap-loading at I. Cohen's scrap yard, nothing for Weston's Bakeries, and passing through the intersection of Montreal and Railway Streets. Sometimes hiding in its industrial camouflage, the locomotive ducked in and out of the scene in front of my iPhone (2024 technology in 1970s Kingston).
Passing Weston Bakeries on Railway Street.
I. Cohen scrap yard.
The spur is on the correct side of the building as the prototype, but the CP lead has to pass behind to make its way down to Place d'Armes.
Lots more work awaited the crew before they could return to the Falls, from south to north:
- two coal loads for Sowards
- gondola of steel for Canadian Dredge & Dock
- two tankers for Shell Oil
- a car of propane for Quintana Gas
