Comments on: Last train to Wallaceburg has arrived at the Bridgetender/RTC’s office and has to grab some paperwork. All the trucks on the driveway are for the people who have come to see the train off, all of them CSX Employees. With Caboose 900074 in tow. Today’s work – 12 loaded grain cars from Hazzards on the south side of the Syndeham River, and to close the bridge for the last time. This is the CSX Train to Wallaceburg, as on October 4 2013 the Region of Chatham-Kent becomes the new owners of all you see here and to Chatham. Chatham-Kent is still seeking an operator for the line as there are four customers at the present time – Hazards Grain in Wallaceburg, IGP also in Wallaceburg (On the north side, former Libbys glass lead), A large grain elevator at Tupperville, and a fertilizer facility at Eberts. A large food processing facility at Dresden is also a potential customer.

Marcus – This is probably the only ‘last train’ I’ve ever shot. I’m waiting to see your ‘last CP moonlight’ shots

Glad some railfans documented this important day. I wish I could have been or of them, great shots.
