How much activity was happening around the Paris pit at this time? I see many references to it but few photos.

Odd that the bridge is angled as it is.

Jacob the Paris pit still gets regular train service. It’s just you can’t get in there easily for photographs.

Back in the 90’s the Paris Pit was a fairly busy place. There were also occasionally older cars there (boxcars etc) that CN was “disposing” of. Also, local railfans from Paris would say sometimes after derailments, CN would send the remains of the wreckage there as well in gons.

I’d say it gets fairly regular service today. About once a month.
