CP Loco 8608 pulling out of the west Hamilton yard. This was the best shot that I was able to get before before it was obscured by buildings.

Those weeds in the foreground kill it for me.

I agree with SoCal...

It would be a nice, environmental "working" shot if it weren't for the weeds.
Looks nice and sharp otherwise.

I did not want to trespass with yard workers around and weeds were all along the property line. Hence the weeds. Sometimes you accept what you can, rather than end up with nothing. As Woolburr says, a train shot is always good.

I understand that one from experience. I was recently trying to get a better angle on a restored steam locomotive and got told what for and chased off the right of way. I stepped back to a safe position and got the best shots I could.
