January 2 2012 Morrisburg Ontario
When the St. Lawrence Seaway was created in the late 1950s, the Canadian National main line from Montreal to Toronto was relocated for some distance between Cornwall and Cardinal.  In the process of creating Upper Canada Village, part of the old line was retained.  The old station from Aultsville (one of the lost villages drowned by the Seaway) was moved to the location and a memorable train was added.  Over the years, the elements have diminsihed the exhibit, but each Christmas season, the Christmas lights create a magical place.
Sadly on this night, wind and cold caused the focus to be less than sharp, but somehow that adds to the dream-like quality of the picture.
