Wild Apple Tree/ Ruby Tuesday

Please note: MY World is the post below.

We were out for a drive on Sunday taking advantage of the blue sky, wispy clouds and sun, when we turned down a dirt road to "see what we could see."

And what we found were these RED apples still clinging to a tree. The hard-to-reach apples must frustrate the local deer NOW, but later on when the fruit does fall the deer will be pleased to nibble on a frozen dinner.

The northlander/ My World

Northlander engine 1801 passing under an EG bridge and heading north

All aboard!

Six mornings a week (Sunday through Friday) year round, the Northlander leaves Canada’s largest city (Toronto) and heads northward toward the quaint, far-north town of Cochrane on "the edge of the Arctic."

FYI: Travel brochures like to say "the edge of the Arctic" but Cochrane's latitude is really only 49°N and the Arctic Circle is 66°N. Good grief! EG is 44°N and we're nowhere near the Arctic!

Along the Northlander's route, it passes through East Gwillimbury, part of the "scenic countryside" advertised in O.N. (Ontario Northland) Railway brochures.
And six evenings a week, another Northlander passes through EG, heading south from Cochrane to Toronto.

The trip by passenger train from Toronto to Cochrane is a 697 kilometers and takes approximately 11 hours, lots of time in which to read a book or maybe take a nap, the brochure promising that Ontario Northland provides comfortable seats, good food and a stress-free ride

No caboose!
