Comments on: Decent view of the old yard at Chapleau from 1977 showing various MoW equipment and rolling stock as well as a couple of locos. On the right is a freight building, a former station and a new modern station (flat roof) in behind. Westbound CP 5530 and 5542 about to leave the Nemegos Sub for the White River sub after a crew change. Photo taken from overhead walk bridge.

The separated ties were the original fuel pads. There is now fuel racks on the main just south of the station.

Those indents in the cement are along the platforms on either side of the mainline as well. My guess is it has to do with locomotive placement for fueling and or service.
I’ll be there the last week of July and will inquire with local CP personnel.

I’d love an answer to that myself!

What is the plate in front of the train with the separated ties? Freight scale?

New plates, bars, and stick rail laid out for a rail changeout program on the main.
