7.5.16 Windsor and Detroit

7/5

I spent the good part of the afternoon in Windsor, Ontario to shoot the Essex Terminal Railway and other Canada-only goodies

Crossing over the CP Detroit-Windsor tunnel

Via passenger train departing Windsor

105 working the other end of the yard

So apparently a CP police car had it's keys locked inside so a locksmith had to come to unlock the vehicle

Essex Terminal headquarters

Via at the Windsor station. The Renaissance Center can be seen in the background

And then I headed back into Detroit

OG, all your pictures are great but I especially like the GP38-2W and whatever CP calls their GP20 rebuilds 8)

Anyone know what's going on at Milwaukee Jct.?
