These three grimy rent-a-wreck's are on the point of a Carlton Trail Railway "eastbound" eventually bound for Meadow Lake SK. Speers was where the right of way changed owners, The train in this shot is still on CN's Blaine Lake Sub but in less than a train length will be on Carlton Trail's Blaine Lake Sub. Sadly all of this track has since been torn up, this was the second last train I ever shot on this line.

  1. Seems like a decent amount of traffic for a line that is now torn up – what caused the decline?

  2. I don’t think it was a traffic decline so much as Omnitrax telling customers they weren’t going to service them anymore. The main customer was an OSB/pulp mill who had to start trucking goods to North Battleford to load their boxcars at the CN yard.

  3. And the old signpost…still there?
