Train Love

Up really close and really personal with my neighbor, the Canadian National Railway.  Oftentimes—like Saturday afternoon when this photo was taken—the magnificent iron horses have to pull up and wait (for other train traffic???) so will sit patiently on either side of Norell Avenue, oftentimes, for hours.  Because of the trees, traffic approaching from the south will not notice the HUGE diesel engine until they actually cross the tracks,  I have a sneaking suspicion more than one driver has been a bit startled to suddenly see this behemoth just a few feet from their car door. "WHOOOOOOAAAAA!"
