Looking at aerial photos, I do see what looks like an old right-of-way to the west of the intersection of Elm Street and Sunset Drive. Would that be it?

There's another high trestle in St. Thomas, over Sunset Drive, part of the St. Thomas Elevated Park. What was it's name, what railroad built that trestle, and when was it taken out of service? Thanks! I assume you can walk across it now as part of the Elevated Park. Is that correct? I'm sorry I didn...

The other day, I viewed a large trestle on a CN line north of downtown St. Thomas, Ontario, which can be viewed from Athletic Park, and as seen on Google Maps . Is this trestle still in use (the aerial photos show tracks on the trestle that appear end a little west of the trestle)? Does it have a na...

What I'm really looking forward to on this trail is when you get on the "double track" bridges at CP Draw. THAT alone will make it worth while to take the trail. The view in both directions will be pretty darn good. As I recall, I walked over part of that bridge expecting great views, onl...

North of Telephone Road is definitely the RN&P. I went back and looked at the aerial photos of that area, and there's nothing that can be seen that could possibly be interpreted as a railroad grade at Telephone Road. And I'm pretty sure that I drove along Telephone Road but never saw anything. ...

Well that's interesting. I could never find any visible trace of the Rochester, Nunda and Pennsylvania RR alongside of Macintyre Road. Nor do aerial photos show anything there, but this LIDAR map shows something faintly, I assume either because it is deeply buried or the graded road bed has been dis...

Why don't you contact via e-mail the curator of this photo collection, JJ Young Jr, on Flickr?

I can't see the photos. There is a graphic saying that Photobucket won't allow 3rd party hosting. Is it just me? I can see other people's photos in other threads ...
