Nice, and to think 30 years ago I used to catch NS switching here….
Did NS run a local, or did a road freight do the switching? A C30-7 seems a bit big for that spur.
This is the Chatham Sub
Yes, and back in the “day”, Wabash/N&W/NS had trackage rights from Windsor to Glencoe. When the Cayuga sub was removed, NS trains bypassed St. Thomas and ran on the Dundas and Grimsby subs.
Yes I know.
You just threw me off by calling it a spur.
Oh I see! I meant the spur into the elevator.
Everything I’ve seen of NS traffic ~30 years ago had large road engines – a lot of C30-7s, with some SD40-2s and others. I’m wondering if they kept any smaller power around (like a GP38 or something) for local work, or if an otherwise-through freight actually did the switching.
Jakob, if you click on my name it will take you to my collection of photos on RP.CA
Scroll around and you’ll find several shots at this elevator from the mid 1980s.
N&W, NS didn’t keep smaller power around for this purpose, but further back in Wabash days, yes there were certain locations where small power was in use ( although I’m fairly certain it may not have been specifically for this customer).
