Thanks to all for the kind comments. :mrgreen:
Yup! It was fortunate that Mister Nutbar is such a strong rower, too, as the current could have resulted in the majority of the pictures being from the other side of the bridge, with the train getting smaller and smaller as we drifted out into Lake Erie.
Actually, while CNR locos are often seen on these tracks, the tenant railroad is the Grand River & Northern Lake Erie, commonly known as the Erie Northshore:

The Erie Northshore is jointly owned by the Grand Valley and EG&E (Elora Gorge & Eastern), so locos from both of these roads are seen here quite often:

Even locos from interchange partner TH&B occasionally burnish Northshore rails beyond the interchange at Port Maitland:
