CP 6073 about to cross Gypsy Road
Title:  CP 6073 about to cross Gypsy Road
Description:  This is the second-to-last crossing on the line headed east before it joins the Watertown Sub main. I set up at the last crossing, too, but a car pulling right up to the stop line to wait for the train messed up my shot. The chase of this train continues in the album "Canadian Pacific ex-MILW Mainline 2017-2019."
