In response to trackwork on the CN Talbot Sub, OSR has been handling automotive frames from the Formet plant at St. Thomas to CN at Beachville rather than the usual direct CN routing. Arriving with 16 empties, OSR shoves across the diamond towards the plant with it's second chunk of 8 cars, where it will wait for L583 with CN 4730 to arrive to pull the loads for them.

    Nice shot of a seldom photographed location. Do you know how long will this operation last ?

    The last re-route was last night. Should be back to normal today, or that’s the plan.
