While Beachville maybe the lime capital of Canada, the railroads importance to hauling this commodity out of the area has diminished significantly over the years. We are looking east off the old steel road bridge at the east end of the quarry. At one point CN and CP tracks connected here at a small yard that served the eastern end of the quarry. A number of years ago CP quit serving the quarry, while CN only occasionally serves a load out at the west end of the quarry. The small yard here sits overgrown and unused, while the service track here buried under a cover of snow is sometimes used to store auto racks destined for the CAMI auto plant in Ingersol. CN 385 is seen racing westward at the quarry with a "Tier 3" and "Tier 4" GEVO for power.

  1. The “service track” at Beechville is always used to set off cars for CAMI.
