I Finally Caught A Train Here!
Title:  I Finally Caught A Train Here!
Description:  I have long wanted to photograph a train on the spur track which branches off the MNS Spur north of Laurel Avenue and runs west to Liberty Carton. Today was my lucky day. Here the CP local shoves west on the spur with boxcar loads for Liberty Carton Company on a blustery Wednesday morning in mid-November.
