Please remember the old Thorold Lumber was right in Fonthill , the new version is a complex switched by Gio on Browns line in Welland.

Yes indeed. Their new location in the north end of Welland did have a siding installed. Here’s a shot from last spring: http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=52027

The lumber company has moved and the spur to Fonthill removed several years ago! The portion left to service General Chemical removed 2 years ago!

Supposedly Fonthill Lumber has not received cars in months. Can anyone confirm otherwise?

Super rare… I remember movements on the line but they were really infrequent… nice that Fonthill Lumber relocated to Welland and is taking loads by rail again
