A set of CN GP9's switching Townhouse Elevator on Midlands town dock. Complex eventually bought by Pillsbury. CP used the line that went behind this complex to access Simcoe Elevator on the opposite side of Midland harbour.

    Was there dual switching zones here, or did CN and CP each have their own tracks?

    CN track only the CP line went to Port McNicoll over the huge Hog Bay trestle. I will round up a trestle shot!
