I have pictures of CN using the wye just over 10 years ago.

As of a few years ago, most of the tail up to the road is still intact, overtaken by neighbours as extra storage for canoes and other items. Both legs of the wye are missing pieces of rail here and there. This looks to be a farm bridge just west of the fairgrounds, as the tail end of the train is still on the curve near Silver Street, and a signal can just be seen going into the curve.

Wow. Cool shot of the old Drumbo Sub. By the time I had discovered railfanning at Parus, that overpass is long gone (filled in) and the Drumbo ended right at it. I believe that during the last few years that last section was removed entirely?

Should have been restored and not retired.
