Comments on: Back to my oldies… 10 years ago, CSX D725 (Sarnia, Ontario to Chatham, Ontario turn) is Southbound on the Sarnia Subdivision at around mile 53, with 49 cars in tow and two CP SD40-2′s for power, which were run-through, as part of the agreement with CP. This train became CP 522 at Chatham, where CP delivered the train to CSX in Detroit and I believe the train continued to Toledo over CSX Rails. At this time, D725 ran six days a week (mon-sat) and two days a week it brought a pair of CSX engines to Chatham for D724 (Chatham to Blenheim, back to Sarnia) – when I arrived at Chatham later that morning, I noted two engines waiting for a D724 ( 2570 and 2690) – so I was in luck, two jobs on the road in one day. I spent a lot of time documenting the Sarnia Subdivision operations during this time, it was on borrowed time and we all knew it – this place was like a time machine right out of the 70′s..

Excellent stuff Steve, and kudos for documenting so thoroughly – one typo – the CN 434 clearance would have been Fargo to South Chatham (as you know!). Just correcting for the record! Thanks again.
