Hey guys just one of those days we were cruising around the Niagara Region looking for some railroad action.
We happened to be traveling north on the Thorold Townline Road and spotted a switcher coming down the the CN Chemical Spur.
We spun the car around to see if maybe the switcher would come out and activate the railroad crossing there.
From looking at Google Maps it appears that the CN Chemical Spur seems to have tracks servicing at least 2 or 3 industries in the area.
The one with the chemical storage tanks in the background is the Oxy Vinyls Canada Plant and is also the closest to this railroad crossing.
While we're not exactly sure how this operation works here. We have notice some industrial plants may have a private switcher to do all the switching around the plant areas.
At least one major railroad operator to provide cars and transportation between distanation on the mainline.
It would be neat if we could be here when CN comes does a cars pick up at this the chemical complex.
Thanks for watching
