Caption: The Essex Terminal is a railway that hasn't had had vast amounts of coverage on this site, so I thought I'd add to the catalogue. Seen here is ETR 105 pulling 9 tank cars south towards Amherstburg, roughly 15 km south of Windsor. Their destination is about 5 km south of here along Thomas Road, where they will shove their train into the former General Chemical property to reach Honeywell, who manufactured hydrofluoric acid. The crew will drop the last 6 cars at Honeywell then take the first 3 tankers-full of Crown Royal Whiskey from Gimli Manitoba-to Diageo at the southern most point of the railway. Today Honeywell is closed, shuttering operations in 2013, and this local has been reduced from a daily run to 1-3 trips per week. The ETR has lost a ton of freight over the past 10 years, losing 4 of their largest customers since 2006. There were 5 customers in Amherstburg 10 years ago, now only 1 remains.
