The right-of-way to Arnprior is owned by the city and maintained by Nylene Canada. As long as that plant needs its good shipped by rail, that line appears to be safe.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917230984518214781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-89272108787887307392015-03-05T15:48:44.713-05:002015-03-05T15:48:44.713-05:00Is this line going to survive the "Ottawa Rai...Is this line going to survive the "Ottawa Rail Exodus" or is it going to be abandoned as well?

It sure does come through slow.<br /><br />A few other occasions I've been in the doctor's office either waiting or mid-exam (annual exam) and after hearing the horn, wanted to slip out to see it._Donhttp://www.my1k.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-48846562780687338272014-11-02T13:50:29.863-05:002014-11-02T13:50:29.863-05:00Yeah, it's a shame what's happening, Keith...Yeah, it's a shame what's happening, Keith. But in fairness, west of Federal, you can see the Arnprior local on the Renfrew Spur on Wednesday and the Twin Elm train (589) on Sunday and Tuesday on the Smiths Falls Sub.

I've not seen many videos of 589 in the past few years.<br /><br />Looks like you've got much better luck catching it on the return trip than me. Between the two of us, we've caught it in both directions. :)<br /><br />DaveMDaveMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058463713656836821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-89893114799899916032014-10-31T16:15:58.475-04:002014-10-31T16:15:58.475-04:00Great post Dave!

Went to gas up thinking I had a few minutes still to get out to the Moodie crossing or atleast Cedarview. Ended up hearing the whistle around 25 to 4 in the middle of pumping gas at Cdn Tire.
