The name “Cayuga Clipper” was a foamer derived name, similar to the “Blue Devil”. It’s not like the St. Thomas and Eastern or the GIO called it that to date, thank goodness.
Nice shot – i’m told all of this is now gone, the elevators anyway.
OSR crews called it Cayuga Clipper
This convo happened a few years ago too http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=38384
I’ll adjust the caption to include the word “nickname” as that is all that it was. I understand all has been leveled as well and with the intention of building new residential buildings, I doubt another train will call on Courtland again.
Jamie correct, I still think it didn’t exist prior to 2019… someone gave it the name and it stuck. The train ran for 5 years before that name seemed to get around….
Knowing OSR has a lot of fans in their ranks it’s no surprise to the name having legs.
Dave I think we might see storage cars and/or run-around moves in the future. It’s the next closest runaround from Tillsonburg so if they get a customer in the ‘business park’ in the area it just might get used. But it won’t look anywhere near the same.. Courtland was a great old school rural looking community.
