A string of retired veteran CN ore cars is shown awaiting their fate at the S Yard in MacMillan Yard in Vaughan, Ontario. The hopper cars were in the 344000 series, and most were over four decades old, having been built during the mid-1950’s.

    Sad. Our family rode behind these cars on a Bellville to Marmora ore train excursion. These cars probably finished service on the stone trains out of Uhthoff.

    These cars were used to ship taconite pellets from Bruce Lake Mine to Thunder Bay a distance of about 300 miles on a daily basis, until the mine shut down in the late 1980′s
