From what I heard from a friend who works on the line, a possible new contract is (maybe) being made to extend the track a couple miles east again to Kawartha ethanol. They want corn scraps in the plant and tankers moving crude liquid out.

Was heading south on the Darlington Manvers line over a unguarded crossing just north of Mosport and slowed to check (should of stopped) and glanced to the west and seen the three headlights about a quarter km west of the crossing and moving slow.

The old B&M cars are used for this. Currently it looks like iko and unimun provide about the same amount of traffic.. approximately 20cars each per trip to Toronto. Iko also loads cars on CN just north of the Belleville yard.Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14904077746434519541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-46980522715696589242017-07-06T22:35:40.709-04:002017-07-06T22:35:40.709-04:00Good eye for spotting the ex-B&M covered hoppe...Good eye for spotting the ex-B&M covered hoppers.

I know roughly where you are, given my time in the newsroom at the Peterborough Examiner, back when it was located on the Queensway right by the tracks. It's a shame that no one has been able to find a workable solution for passenger or commuter rail in the Peterborough area.

The freight trains and commuter trains (both CP and VIA) are fond memories for me.
