Comments on: Passing the one time TH&B Customer Lawson Lumber, TH21 is making a beeline back to Kinnear to finish for the day and go off duty on a cool December day. I got lucky with the sun on this one..

If I was living there, i’d request CP to use ex-BCR K5H/K5L horns at each crossing! ????

Aside from the now demolished lumber yard in Steve’s photo (which itself is surrounded by houses), the Belt is largely through residential neighbourhoods basically from Kinnear to Gage. At most, neighbours of the line would likely max out at 6-8 one-way trips past them on any given day, sometimes as low as zero.

neat!
Industrial trackage as a living room view?
Yes!
Count me in!
(and the risk of new residential within long established industrial lands…oh can just hear the future train complaints from new residents ‘real estate agent told me the tracks were not in use’… wail…sob…weep….!)

I’ve seen the concepts for townhomes. They’re going to make a mint.

My cousin(s) owned property in the ‘north’ end of a similar size once upon a time. Paid next to nothing for it. Redevelopment is going to make some folks quite wealthy and provide much needed brownfield redevelopment there, but it will have it’s limits especially the closer to the industries you get cause they just ain’t going anywhere. But this one is in a great location.
