Introducing newest rail entity (2015)to utilize rail service from Southern Ontario Railway on the Hagersville Sub. Railview Investments operated by L.F. Mattice Farms & Trucking Inc. of Hagersville (Dedicated Carriers of Edible Grain)is a full service storage & trans load facility conveniently located on #33 siding (new) adjacent to SOR's main line through Hagersville. Siding #33 with a length of 1450', switch and derail was installed June 2015 and utilized initially to provide convenient inbound trans loading services (e.g. millet) to Armstrong Milling Co Ltd, Nelles Corners, ON. Incidentally, siding #33 replaces an old time, idle Grand Trunk Stock Yard siding of years past. This photo depicts the Mattice clan and Railview facility transloading wheat from truck to rail car as part of a thirty 90 ton car order. Special thanks to both Fred and Freddie Mattice for permission to photograph and be part of the track installation and first few inbound and outbound shipments. SOR tends to spot cars in conjunction with its northbound, nocturnal RLNN 597. Consequently photos in good lighting are difficult to obtain but alas I have a few, including SOR motive power and railroading events, in reasonable lighting to submit in days following. A hometown proud, success story and rewarding, interesting experience!
