Hawk Junction postscript

Chris Wilson posted this great pic taken on August 20 to railpictures.ca of some action at Hawk Junction:

A nice flurry of action at this quiet station, the southbound passenger train, and southbound and northbound local freight trains are all at Hawk Junction at the same time.

The CN 5379 is the same unit that was set out by the train I shot on July 14.

One thing that I’ve been corrected on is that the freight trains are apparently daily; I had been led to believe a few years ago that these too had been reduced to only a three times a week service. Apparently this is not [or simply no longer?] the case.
