Mark ¨C it is the exact same location, just opposite angles. The
railpictures photo (the linked one) is looking west along Bruce Street at a
train that is heading north (turning east to north) to go to the GM plant.
The photo that was sent attached to the original email was looking north at
a train that was heading in the opposite direction to the linked one,
turning south to west.

Subject: Re: [C-N-R] Question about that picture
The image is close, but the details on the house (porch railing, a "roof"
above the second floor windows) makes it doubtful it's the same location. It
could easily be in the same area as the houses are about the same age.
Thanks to all of you for your replies.

The "masts" appear to be a couple of TV antennas (in the days before cable
? ) and perhaps a ham radio antenna (on the right). Alas, that makes it
unlikely that they are much help in identifying the location.
However, a quick google search of the image finds another, taken at the
junction of Ritson Rd S and Bruce Street in Oshawa, Ontario.
This is a branch to a GM stamping plant. Looks like pretty good match!
Careful examination of Google Maps images shows the patched street on Bruce
Street where the tracks used to run.
