This day saw me at a bright and sunny VIA Rail Station at Kingston.Kind of cool but bearable. Spent most of the time over on track 2 as there is a good spot at the end of the platform just about at the crossing of John Counter Blvd. Here the sun when it is out in the afternoon is behind you making for some excellent captures ...well I thought anyway..some people at some sites don't see it that way.I'll keep it under my hat rail guys know which one I'm talking about....LOL!

The guys from CN Rail were out and about down the track to the east doing some repair work.Boy they have done wonders to the John Counter crossing that was a nightmare to cross with a vehicle now nice and level.I hear eventually this crossing is going to a four lane overpass.Which will be nice it will take the head ache away from all the congestion at this crossing and traffic coming out of the VIA Station.
