Comments on: A backyard Railway in Chatham, nearly five hours after departing Sarnia, D725 has arrived at what is “North Chatham” with 49 cars. North Chatham is the end of OCS limits and beginning of Yard limits, mile 19 Sarnia Subdivision and at this point, crews have to call the RTC to clear OCS limits and discuss with the Chatham Depot for their yarding instructions. And here’s another audio clip – from precisely this moment pictured – as the train is passing me and I’m taking photos, the crew discusses with Chatham Depot yarding instructions, then calls the RTC to clear South Chatham.

Thanks. There hasn’t been a train down there in nearly 10 years now.

Thanks for posting this. I spent a week in Wallaceburg on some training around this time.
