Canadian Railroads > MLW Monday - VIA FPA-2u at Billings Bridge, OttawaDate: 05/22/17 13:16 MLW Monday - VIA FPA-2u at Billings Bridge, Ottawa Author: feclark This is FPA-2u 6758, one of two on the roster, pulling Ottawa to Toronto #43 at 0938 with four cars, on February 25, 1985. The bridge is crossing Bank Street on the south side of the Billings Bridge shopping plaza. I thought I'd try this out one day, but quickly found out there were too many hostile wires and street lights. Getting stabbed by a cloud didn't help any.

Photoshop can be your friend, lighten the trucks, remove the wires, re-compose with no streetlight. Lots of potential but just fine as it is. |
