CTC Relic

TE11 with the famously smokey 2263, throttles up while going under the disused tunnel cut signal bridge. Based on their traffic, they look to be heading to interchange with CN at their Southern Yard.

The signal bridge was built in the late 60s for the CTC in the tunnel under the Welland canal and was used by TH&B, NYC, Wabash and CN for 3 through-lines (Wabash/CN Air Line ie. Cayuga Sub, the CASO and TH&B ie. Hamilton Sub). Now it just sits and watches CPs through traffic on the Hamilton Sub, CN and CP heading to the Trillium interchange in Feeder Yard (track off to the left) and probably the occasional Trillium headroom move. Always laughed the thought of these signal bridges being disused having been erected so recently (relative to the rest of the local rail lines). "Modern history", if you will.
