It is possible that those containers and Railbox cars are for Livingstons in Tillsonburg and Imperial Leaf Tobacco in Aylmer.

I noticed the name sign in the background. ..and know that the CN used to have a station here….anyone know when the station was removed? Obvious to me I’m guessing the sign and signals marl where the station grounds were…?

This is interesting. When I stopped there in 1976, all there was to photograph was the blade.

Also I think this photo I took in 2013 is in the same spot, so that train’s sitting on the main…. appears to be a CN train stopped to make a lift/setoff. Very cool Bill!

Wow.. I have to ask though, what’s with the intermodal? Would that be a N&W train? But then you have the CN ballast cars.. seems like odd traffic for CN to be Hauling on the Cayuga sub.
