Railpictures.ca - Michael Klauck Photo: With the removal of the Downtown Spur (opposite to the King. St. CNR Station), CN invested in a new loading dock on the East Side of town that utilised the remnants of the former Welland Railway tracks (north-south) that dead ended just north of Bridge #20. The Unloading Dock was rarely used, but on this day it has received two (2) flat cars of equipment. In the background you can see a lake ship (right), and INCO Chimney (left). The tracks were removed in the late 90′s, the loading dock remains as an odd reminder that the rails once went through here. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
