Railpictures.ca - Doug Page Photo: Here’s one for the modelers…A low-tech double stack intermodal terminal next to a road in small town Ontario. Norfolk & Western/Norfolk Southern operated the Dain City intermodal terminal (off St. Clair Drive) in the Welland area until October 1998. Maersk double stack service from Tacoma, Washington started in April 1988 using NS to Chicago and Union Pacific to the west coast. K-Line traffic was also handled through this terminal, according to articles in the Journal of Commerce (go to www.joc.com and search “Canadian double stack service Canada”; also see NiagaraRails.com). In this April 1989 photo, we see CN SW1200RS 1385, the Dain City yard engine, passing stack cars. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

This terminal originally handled SeaLand containers. I started working for a Customs Broker at the Interport terminal (Dixie Road at Highway 401 in Mississauga) in the spring of 1974. Tallman Transports, a now defunct carrier from Welland, hauled the containers from Dain City to Interport for customs clearance and then delivered them in the GTA. The rail routing was Seattle to Chicago then Norfolk and Western to Buffalo and then to Dain City. I don’t know if they were on double stack cars back then.
