CN Switches the Hanley Spur

A recent photography trip down the Hanley Spur with CN 3120 netted these pictures. Heading south past Rideau and North Streets:

Reaching Place d'Armes, a single hopper car of coal is set out for Crawford Fuels. This spur gets switched alternating with Kingston Milling - the main structure in the background:

A smattering of shots of a True-Line Trains CN caboose as the train returns to the Outer Station yard. 




A very common denizen of the Outer Station yard - CN boarding cars for work crews while in town.


Also at the Outer Station - an ancient ice reefer and a view of the Outer Station parking lot and station breezeway. The late-19th century part of the station (at right - below) was just demolished.
