ngineered4u, not sure of date, but once the South Blair underpass work is complete, closure will be soon after. While the new access road to Gerdau has been in for some time and underpasses for the Kingston and GO Subs are ready, the actual roadwork is still ongoing.

You are right Dave. 730/731 were the old ore train numbers when it ran from Temagami to Hamilton and back. 5 GP40-2 in full throttle

I still remember 730 being the ore train.
