Comments on: N&W freight on the Cayuga subdivision east of St. Thomas. If anyone can help pinpoint the location, we’ll make the required correction. This one is a bit of a puzzler. Thank you to all who help – add to comments please and thank you. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

The trademark modern CN gas shack (grey with orange door) sits directly behind the Sectionmen toolhouse which was immediately east of the station building, the hydro feed to the toolhouse can be seen drooping across the right of way. I am not sure what the status of the station building was in 1979 however the Sectionman toolhouse survived until the line was abandoned. Thanks to a former colleague for providing track diagrams which helped me validate the siding and back track configuration.

If so this is a westbound. Have some really good evidence from Aaron White that this is Cayuga so we’ve updated to reflect. If so this is a westbound.

If this is correct, the track in foreground would have been part of the connecting track and yard used by freights until the Garnet bypass was built - which was around this time. The bypass eliminated Garnet - Jarvis Cayuga sub moves and of course built the new yard which has since been expanded. Great work Marcus.
