This snowy shot looking north towards Detroit, shows the CP rail yards. It was taken in January, 1985. Speaking of snow, drive safely today if you’re going out… I for one am sick of winter.

Sick of the winter it’s just starting!! LOL that’s a cold looking photo Ah! some nice to see a caboose on the end of that string of tank cars
It took me a while to figure out what those dark buildings flanking the Ren Cen are…when were Victoria Park Place and Royal Windsor Terrace dark, like that?
I noticed CBC’s transmitting antenna looks pretty tall what year did they shorten it??
I think they look dark because it seems to be late afternoon 4or 5 o’clock
Gary–when I moved to Windsor in the Mid 90s the CBET-TV transmitter was full height – seems to me by the late 90s or early 2000s it had been cropped.
