Q148 slides by on the south as L580's power is being tied down and tidied up by the crew, having just returned from the Burford Spur. In the background, track guys are using a boom truck with a magnet to transfer tie plates from a gon to bins on the boom truck deck. As Q148 was going by M301 slipped by on the north track. I enjoyed some good company on the platform too.

  1. 580′s power didn’t proceed down the Burford Spur to Ingenium did they Terry? I was just looking yesterday at Ingenium on Google Earth and there’s a good load cars down there. Even a cut at 8 at the stub end tracks that lead to the past the station beyond. That many cars seems a lot for a track mobile as Ingenium has been using. Is it possible? :)

  2. The rail line is owned by Ingenia Polymers and they contract operations and maintenance of the rail line out, in 2018 to Allied Track Services.

    I’m curious, what this is all about

    “2427811 Ontario Inc. (Ingenia Polymers Corp.) – Request for
    Instructions Re: Land Exchange and Rail Line Realignment (LO2020-
    007)”

  3. Brad, I was at Mile 23 at the time, based on what I overheard on the radio 580 spotted the cars at the derail which is on the north side of Grey St., then returned to the yard.

  4. @Steve – most likely to move the Burford Spur off of Clarence St., south of Colborne St. Track would be aligned along the boulevard rather than across the traffic lanes.

  5. Wild That won’t be a cheap project. They must have plans or a need to re-build Clarence St. There’s talks of roundabouts, but most of the discussions are behind closed session of council.

  6. No room for a roundabout there

  7. So that project wouldn’t be on Ingenium’s wallet obviously. ;) Still amazed a wee trackmobile handles all those cars!
