Here's westbound Train 562 on the CP Hamilton Subdivision at the Welland Canal tunnel, serving both CN and CP trains. CN uses this stretch to reach the small Trillium Railways yard, not far from the CP Welland yard. The bridge crossing the CP right-of-way is Port Colborne Harbour Railway trackage served by Trillium Railways. |
