Railpictures.ca - Christopher Jones Photo: Featuring a level of horsepower rarely seen on the Huron Central, SUSM (Sudbury – Sault Ste. Marie) features a lash up of 9000 total horsepower from its sister roads. With a train made up of empty coil cars, bulkhead flats, a few gasoline tankers and boxcars, the train coasts across the Gordon Lake Rd. crossing due to a slow order. This train will soon finish the last leg of its trip, before quickly flipping around with a fresh crew, hauling loaded coils, plate steel and calcium carbonate cars east to Sudbury, needing all 9000 horses the lineup can provide. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Well, isn’t that nice! When is the last time we saw a pic here from Desbarats? I think the station used to be on the north side just to the left of your shot……but has been moved. It supposedly is a couple of miles or so south of there but I have not been able to find it.
