Comments on: Fifteen minutes after it’s counterpart passed through the town of Paris, Norfolk Southern train 328 screams through the junction with a pair of units a long way from their home. UP C40-8 9328 and TFM SD40-2 1401 races eastward towards Buffalo with five hoppers ex Trillium(Aylmer Co-op?) and the usual string of auto boxes from Talbotville Ford. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

I was relying on Google Maps to see where the tracks ended, but the copyright on those maps was 2013. They show the transfer yard for Talbotville full of empty gondolas, but a lot can change in two years. I also can't remember when the Paynes Sub was ripped up. I know it was recently (obviously prior 2013). Either way, I'm kicking myself for not foaming the 327/328 trains sooner, as I was just arriving on the scene as they were being cancelled out. My interests at the time were being involved in forum operations for a Canadian modeller for MSTS. A glorious opportunity missed and lost to time in exchange for hours planted in front of a desktop... To be honest, I don’t know.

It's in rough shape, what with the demolition of the Ford plant coming soon, but it's still there. I don't think that CN is at all interested in the few cars a year the Cargill plant needs, but who knows? Hi Steve,

The Payne’s Mill Sub ends at John Wise Line now, instead of Glencoe. It’s in rough shape, what with the demolition of the Ford plant coming soon, but it’s still there. I don’t think that CN is at all interested in the few cars a year the Cargill plant needs, but who knows?
