AMTK 105
Title:  AMTK 105
Description:  I thought that this was a pretty neat catch - as CN freighter headed for Port Robinson appeared alongside the AMTK Maple Leaf near the WYE . The freighter will veer off right and head southwest, and the Maple Leaf will swing left and continue east to Niagara Falls station just a mile or so away.

AMTK 105
Title:  AMTK 105
Description:  Not sure if there’s a switching issue, but it was very convenient for me that the CN freighter waited until AMTK 105 had switched to the Niagara Station trackage – allowing me a shot of both trains from a nice vantage point at Portage Road overpass.
