Model Railroading > Crummy photo

I just got out of my new car (a slightly used Caprice Classic, BTW) in the south parking lot of Guildwood Station and I saw a westbound GO train was coming in. I had my camera in my bag and I just caught the cab car as it passed the tunnel under the tracks. The composition is terrible, and the photo is mostly sky, but at least I got the shot! 

The purpose of my visit, an eastbound LRC, was due in a couple of minutes... but I ran out of film! I thought I had 20 shots left but in the end this crummy photo was all I got. Those VIA passengers all seem to be ignoring the GO train, something I would never do! 

Regards from late 1983,

Jason

I enjoy your layout Jason, your ztarion scenes are amazing.

Neat scene with the lights going through the pedestrian tunnel.

And get back in your car to hear on the radio "She Blinded me with Science" by Thomas Dolby or "Beat it" by MJ. If those people were "N" Scale I bet they would be all over photographing the GO train. ;)   Fantastic looking scene! Well done Jason. Now go fill your car up with that $1.22 gas. This is the year I bought my Volkswagon Scirocco.

Bob and Doug on the Platform eh? On their way to the Elsinore brewery?

Hahaha!

Great scene; enjoyed seeing the real thing for my first Toronto visit several years back.

Thanks, guys. The tunnel in this photo reminds me a bit of that episode of Spider Man/Rocket Robin Hood when they visited Dimentia Five...

Or Time Tunnel, or Doctor Who, or some other weird thing... 😁

What, no homeless, graffiti, or junkie needles in the tunnel? Oh wait, that's Canada.  ;^)

That's actually a 3D print of two of my kids...

Very cool!  Great modeling, that pedestrian tunnel is very unique.

Thanks for sharing. Oh the days of fim instead of digital photos! Sometimes, I would get lucky and be able to squeeze one more shot out of a roll!

Recently, I lamented at some super 8 movie film that the leader had been chewed up by the projector along with a short part of the footage at that the front also chewed up. Of course, the footage included an ABA PRR/PC lash-up of F units on Penn Central in 1970 on the Grand Rapids & Indiana. Oh well, as least I have vintage freight cars and a caboose. Sometimes it really hurts. (It was chewed up long before the digital age.)
