"Trout Lake" brings up the rear of the fabled Agawa Canyon Tour Train as it rolls into the morning fog at Heyden, Ontario. In less than a week's time, this world-renown train would make its final run under the ownership of Canadian National, bringing forth another chapter in a decade of change on the old Algoma Central to a close.

Watco is set to takeover operations of the former Algoma Central in the new year.
