Canadian National green track - close up

Who said tracks have to be filthy? They are green now! I noticed the grass growing on the track since early this spring. I did not make out much from it. I thought it would die out soon because of the frequent trains coming and going but it is still strong and healthy! The location of the photos is near St-Redempteur overpass. Very close to the Joffre yard, Charny. Follow the Google Maps link for precise position. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=46.700083,-71.287708&spn=0.002719,0.003637&t=k&z=18
