Comments on: A shot that I have done many a time with the SOR, now a shot that I have been able to repeat with CN. Here we see CN L580 heading for Hagersville with CN 9473, CN 7025 and CN 4130. All of their cars today were to work the CGC plant outside of Hagersville. The mill in Hagersville was not worked on this afternoon.

Oh no, they varied the switch to Friday versus Wednesday ??
Steve – note that Mattice is part of the LAC network, which includes Tupperville ! Laughingly, they claim service with CSX…

CN delivered a single hopper to the Mattice Mill today. Glenn and I were able to photograph the move.

Everything has a schedule, doesn’t it

Looking forward to seeing what happens there, but I doubt i’ll ever be there to see a car go in.

Other than the empty cars for wallboard, CGC recieves cars of plaster, pearlite and starch i’m told as part of the manufacturing process.

I suspect the grain hoppers will be distinctly different for the elevator at Hagersville. How often does it get cars? I’ve never seen a car in there.
