Trillium Railway #110, an ex-CN MLW S13, throttles up to climb the grade on the former CN Thorold Subdivision with their short lived diner train. I believe that the passenger cars went back to the New York & Lake Erie after this endeavor was abandoned.

    Chugchugchugchugchug!

    Doesn’t Trillium have some ex-Algoma Central passenger cars stored away for something?

    They may, but I haven’t been down there for a while. These cars were all NYC lettered and had come from the NY&LE from what I was told.

    Anybody remember when there were two sets of tracks running parallel to the Welland Canal where we see the one line here?

    There’s the grade @mikelockwood talks about in this thread:

    photo.

    “It was the steepest mainline grade on CN anywhere”

    I can see that. I’d love to hear that Alco and watch the smoke show.
