Ainslie Creek - a photo on Flickriver

Ainslie Creek

            A delightfully clean CN 5794 leads loaded grain train G815 west through one of the many tunnels on CN's Ashcroft Subdivision, and over Ainslie Creek trestle.  Around the time I pressed the shutter release on my camera, the conductor would have been calling out 'Advance clear to stop to Martinson' as the searchlight signal around the corner from the train came in to view.  

The location I shot this from is rather precarious, so I was quite pleased to be rewarded for the effort with a clean leader, and only moderate shadows on the dark side of the train due to the high, cloud filtered sunlight.
