Comments on: One thing we may rarely see again coming down the Hamilton Sub from Guelph Jct is a solid grain train. It is still possible. But it sure cannot be led by all-SOO power!!! This image of the southbound coming up to the Parkdale Dr crossing in Waterdown is just that……..SOO 6411, 779 and 6013. The old passenger station is still standing within this Opta Minerals complex here(previously Barnes). It is currently used as the company office. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

I've asked a pretty credible source to confirm :) Steve, I don’t believe they do anymore either. I’ve asked a pretty credible source to confirm :)

They re-routed the road around those 'bushes' at right basically, straight to Parkdale Drive instead of following the tracks on the curve. Now it's greenspace (grass) beside the tracks with a couple large stones. What I'd like to know is if "barnes" (or Compass Minerals as they are now known) gets any cars - I don't think they do anymore.. LOL.

Looking at Google maps, I believe that road in the foreground is gone, however the red historical piece of machinery on the right still sits there. Also worth noting that CP still, very rarely, runs unit grain trains down the Hamilton Sub, caught at Vinemount by James Knott earlier this year: http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=37131 Beautiful shot Arnold!
