Awesome. So when the train arrived at Waterford prior to the bridge being redecked what was the routing to go to Nanticoke? Run around the train, run east on the CASO to Hagersville, run around again and head south?
I think you have it. Once the deck got done it was just over and around like a cloverleaf on the highway.
Tell you the truth I never followed the train east of Waterford. Usually it was getting dark.
Arnold, great photo, this is my recollection. Prior to the TH&B/LE&N connection and the LE&N (Black Bridge) rehabilitation, the CP Steel Train went around the west leg of the TH&B wye at Waterford, entered the CASO North Siding, then backed eastward through the crossovers to the CASO Eastbound Main, then proceeded westward entering the LE&N Connecting track to climb the hill and connect to the LE&N Main (just south of the LE&N Waterford Station) proceeding south to Simcoe, then eastward via the Cayuga Sub. to Garnet and southward to Nanticoke via the Hagersville Sub. I recall the CP Steel Train going by my parents place which backed onto the Cayuga Sub at the siding west switch Jarvis, usually early evening.
Phew. Confusing to us who have not witnessed it. All this because a bridge was inaccessible at the time? But now it makes sense.
Terry now that you say that I believe I recall hearing that before. Thank you.
