Railfanning with Doctor Wayne---CNR #4193 leads a freight across Walnut St. in Dunnville

Looks like that photo was taken from the roof, either of industrial supplier Wilkinson-Kompass (left foreground in the photo below) or that of Coffield Washer, seen at right. (Aerial photos courtesy of Secord Air Services.)



Here are a few more from the same survey:

National Grocers, at near left, and much of the east-side industrial area:



Here's the Bertram Machine Works....



....and from the north side:



...the Dunnville station, with the Post Office wing closest to the camera, the station itself in the centre, and the express annex on the far end. The Grand Valley's administrative offices are in the upper floors, along with those of some private enterprises:



This final view shows Bertram's offices at lower left, with Creechan's Fine Fuels just opposite on the north side of Liberty St. In the background is P&M Languay Ltd., a pump and compressor manufacturer. To the right of that is the steel water tank supplying the standpipes near the station, and, right of that and slightly closer to the viewer, Airline Junction. Much of this former mainline, which disappears beneath the girder bridge, was washed away in a hurricane several years prior, and the truncated remnants serve now only as a wye for turning locos and cars from nearby South Dunn Yards, or helper locos from Cayuga Junction, several miles to the north.
Also visible, in the right foreground, is the overhead crane at the Grand Valley's Walnut St. Freight Terminal:
