Comments on: “ONR 2121 South” cruises through Feronia, 9 miles north of the yard in North Bay. Upon arrival they’ll yard their train, lift northbound traffic and depart as train 113 back to Englehart.

SCH; thanks for the info. Running through to Mac yard would seem to be the best way to improve interchange. It’ll be interesting to watch it play out.

Thank you. I didn’t bother waiting around for the ugly black unit to head back north. I was worried it’d be leading south!

It’ll be nice to see ONR closer to home. Hopefully the Newmarket Sub. trains run in daylight.

It’s my understanding ONR will run direct to mac yard. speeding up interchange means they can in theory run through north bay without handing cars off to CN or vice versa. Direct.

I fully expect ONR to start running to Toronto in the not too distant future but anything is truly possible.

Very nice, Mr. Smith.
I shot this same train upon return just coming into Latchford !! (Not impressed with the black leader)

Nice clean shot !

With ONR’s takeover of the CN Newmarket sub, will there be run-through trains directly to Mac yard ? I’ve been scowering the ol’ interweb for any new info on how CN and ONR will interchange traffic. All the reporting suggests the new ONR ownership will speed up interchange but I can’t see how that would be accomplished.
