Don't you think the orange Canadian National engine contrasts nicely with the almost pure blue sky?
This engine has between 100 and 150 cars behind it carrying freight from Western Canada (Prince Rupert, British Columbia on the Pacific Ocean) to Brampton (just northwest of Toronto). Some freight will be offloaded in Ontario but much of the cargo will head southward into the U.S., some of it all the way to New Orleans on the Gulf of Mexico. CN tracks also travel easterly in Canada to Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the Atlantic Ocean.
These are busy tracks, trainloads upon trainloads passing through East Gwillimbury every day.

It's a nice contrast indeed.
Interesting post, great picture, well done.
Most excellent photograph with marvellously chromatic opposition, Cold and hot colours!
Very good post!
Great capture, the train certainly adds colour.
I do like the contrast and I like the picture in general...
This is my kind of picture!! Love the color of the engine and yes it does look beautiful against that blue sky!
The contrast is marvelous. What a great train shot. This is super.
I do like the contrast against that blue sky. Have a great weekend.
Very good shot!
I love your text for the photo. Yes, I love the orange/blue combo, I can feel the ground trembling as this rumbles over the road. I wish we had more (and better) rail service.
Greetings from south Texas. I love trains. Nice capture.
The train, the jet trails in the sky, what an excellant combination.
Love this shot!
Great shot of the train, beautiful sky
I took a picture of the train as it rolled through Stanwood today. I'll post it later. Good shot. MB
Great shot. Nice contrasts. :)
Interesting how monitors differ. On my Samsung the sky is a perfect blue color and the train engine is a brilliant red.
I like your selection for Sky Watch Friday. Nice work.
