Even better shot, Rob, but, alas, no Inebriated specimens along for the ride.

It would be in service, interlake transloads….. At great cost.
Makes you wonder why Interlake didn’t help out with the bridge repair cost then…
Great shot, sad that it is now gone.
Thanks for sharing Rob, I went here three times looking to get a shot – missed them all three times.
The tracks are still in place…they could connect it to the canal spur somehow…
They could connect Interlake Paper via the Pine St. Spur- at the end of the spur (where that one industry is) hook it over to Front St along the existing walkway to connect to the existing Townline spur… would the City go for it though?
Where does Interlake transload at? I am assuming the facility on the old Cadbury Schweppes site iin St. Catharines. There was initial talks if I remember correctly about building a connection off the Canal sub just east of Glendale Ave. Seeing as how Trillium didn’t have the cash to repair the bridge, it was unlikely money was there for building the new spur connection from either direction. As for a Pine St. extension, I can’t see how that would be possible. The tracks stub ended at the north end of the old paper mill on the west side and the topography and housing density in the area(not to mention the second Welland canal is buried in that area)would make a relocation plan extremely expensive.
