A tale of two cities

Last weekend I was out on a tour of the Guelph Junction Railway, which the city of Guelph has struggled to keep intact down the years. I took this shot south of the town as the train, headed by engine 182, rolled past at about 20 m.p.h.

Meanwhile back in Hogtown they have been ripping out the tracks on Lakeshore east, thereby ensuring that no tourist tram will ever run to the docklands. Bone-headed stupidity rules.
