NS&T Electric Motor #21 travelling south on Elm Street approaching the Killaly Street intersection. The train would soon pass the non-interlocked (flagged) industrial diamond for the Canada Cement company spur that connected the factory to loading docks on the Welland Canal. The final destination for the train would be the Macey Yard Interchange with the CNR. The train is hauling boxcars from Robin Hood Flour Mills. The NS&T was the last railway to reach Port Colborne in 1911, and the construction of Robin Hood in 1940 created a significant source of Freight Revenue for the Company, enough to dedicate an Electric Motor to servicing the facility. NS&T generally kept Motor #20 or 21 stationed adjacent the current Museum grounds. #21 was built by the CLC - Canada Locomotive Company in 1927 for the Montreal & Southern Counties coming over to NS&T in 1941, likely due to freight demands at Robin Hood. The building on the right was the privately built Port Colborne Athletic Club Arena (also called the White Arena), a 2200 seat hockey rink constructed in 1932 that launched the NHL career of of 5 time Stanley Cup Champion- Toronto Maple Leafs Captain - Ted "Teeder" Kennedy who joined the Leafs at age 16. According to the NS&T author John Mills the last Interurban Trolley passenger run in North America was Thorold to Port Colborne - March 1959. Electric Motor freight operations continued until the summer of 1960 at which time the line was serviced by Diesel locomotives. Street running to the Robin Hood terminated in 1983 (or '84) when the tracks were removed as the line was re-routed from Welland south to Robin Hood and the then new "Canada Starch" plant. The scene looks very much different today, the Cape Cod style homes on the left are still there, the rink was demolished in the late '60's, streets widened and gentrified.
