I was driving south bound on Moodie Drive when it popped out of the woods just as I arrived at the underpass for the Beachburg Sub. I stopped on Timm to get a <a href="https://www.flickr.com/gp/136774559@N05/ua41ox" rel="nofollow">picture</a>. It's not great but at least it proves I saw something. I can't make out the locomotive number. It's in the 9000 series, so a GP-38W. What really surprised me was that the train went by on a Friday. From what I read here, I thought that it only passed on Wednesdays.

It does make me wonder, though, why the railway would lug those cars all the way out to Arnprior and back, just to switch off Beachburg and onto the Smiths Falls Sub to deliver them to Kott, if that is what is happening. Thanks for your help, everyone.

The cars weren't moving, but when I drove passed again from a trip they were gone. Not sure if they came east from Montreal area.<br /><br />On a side note I was lucky to see a train moving one Saturday ago hauling a mixed consist headed under the Walkley rd bridge. I didn't know there was a distribution plant on sheffield rd that CN supplies to. The name's Kemira of the company there. I see there water trucks come out of there all the time.<br /><br />Anyways hope this helps!<br /><br />MikeMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199139594645155489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-2272981012196042852016-06-02T18:17:21.437-04:002016-06-02T18:17:21.437-04:00Hi,

Industrial complex in Arnprior (past the siding where the switch the engine around), I think the track still goes out there<br />3. Kott Lumber on Moodie drive<br /><br />My bet is on #3, they may have just put the cars on and were going to do the drop off on the way back.<br /><br />As for the track maintenance, I've seen that they have many bundles of ties on throughout Nepean for quite a while now.<br /><br />DaveMDaveMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058463713656836821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-21779035921740768872016-06-02T13:52:47.007-04:002016-06-02T13:52:47.007-04:00Exciting!
