This is in my hometown alongside where Imperial Tobacco used to be, I think it's called Synnex now or something.

I'm standing right where the Canadian National tracks once stood but originally it was built in 1870 by Great Western where it headed out to Palmerston and beyond.

The service road to the right does eventually line up with the rail trail further north as you can see off in the distance. To my left is where the telegraph poles would be and to the far left is the former Canadian Pacific industrial spur now part of the Guelph Junction I believe.
