At mile 17.09 of the former Lakefield subdivision the swing bridge still stands next to the Trent/Severn waterway despite not being in operation in what must be at least 50+ years. I suspect that this line was abandoned sometime around 1960, or whenever Trent University built their campus (just off to the left of this picture). Anyone have any idea when this section of track was abandoned? Tom

    CN received permission to abandon it along with everything east of Lindsay in 1989. Traffic had been non-existent for at least a year prior to that.
