Railpictures.ca - Bill Thomson Photo: CN GP9 4252, F7Bu 9195 and RS18 3704 are in charge of a freight on the Douglas Point Spur near Port Elgin. The Douglas Point Spur ran off the Southampton Sub, southwest from Port Elgin to the Bruce Nuclear Generating Plant at Douglas Point, just to the north of Kincardine. This line and much of the Owen Sound Subdivision would be abandoned in 1989, and the spur is now part of the Bruce County Rail Trail. Note: Geotagged location not exact. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
