    Wow.. I have to ask though, what’s with the intermodal? Would that be a N&W train? But then you have the CN ballast cars.. seems like odd traffic for CN to be Hauling on the Cayuga sub.

    Also I think this photo I took in 2013 is in the same spot, so that train’s sitting on the main…. appears to be a CN train stopped to make a lift/setoff. Very cool Bill!

    This is interesting. When I stopped there in 1976, all there was to photograph was the blade.

    I noticed the name sign in the background. ..and know that the CN used to have a station here….anyone know when the station was removed? Obvious to me I’m guessing the sign and signals marl where the station grounds were…?

    It is possible that those containers and Railbox cars are for Livingstons in Tillsonburg and Imperial Leaf Tobacco in Aylmer.
