Working the customer - seen here shoving cars into Gillies Lumber on the Galt Industrial Spur built around 1967. With a long train of cars still on the 'main' at rear - after finishing Gillies 582 returns to the former Fergus Subdivision and shoves to Hunt Haulage before returning to Guelph and Kitchener.

    Appears things have turned for the better on the old Fergus Sub. I remember only two day a week service and limited traffic heading down the branch.

    Four day a week service now (mon-thur). This train was exceptional though, there’s a bunch of idlers and a Caboose for Babcock and Hunts does take quite a few centrebeams (precast or drywall I forget exactly what). Flochem has 5 or 6 spots now too.

    Is this the spur that crosses Hespler road in Cambridge? Thanks for the advice with the waterloo spur. I’ll join the yahoo groups as soon as possible.

    Yes, that is the spur. See the map – zoom in, and go to ‘street view’. It’s all there :)
