Beauty. Love that it's been left in that position. Also the weights-turned-flowerpots.

The track was abandoned only just recently. I was one of the last people to drive a locomotive right up to the bridge, sadly, the end of the line.

well according to CN the last train to use this line was in 1978, and that was probably a crew ripping up the trackage.
