[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by CSSHEGEWISCH The Algoma Central was definitely long on scenery but it doesn't look like it was the easiest railroad to operate. No long grades but lots of curves and a fair amount of wilderness along the way. It was probably a smaller version of the British Columbia Railway. Doghouse: you're right about the slogan. [/quote] Originally, it was called the "Algoma Central and Hudson Bay" or AC&HB, which some said stood for: All Curves and High Bridges. Now that Algoma Central (and Wisconsin Central) are part of CN, how does most of the intermational traffic move at Sault Ste. Marie? When the Wisconsin Central was the Soo Line, it connected with the Canadian Pacific line from Sudbury...a natual east-west route. Now the Sudbury-Sault Ste. Marie branch is the Huron Central, but certainly their primary connection must be with the CP at Sudbury. So, does international traffic still flow between the CN west of Sault Ste. Marie and the CP via the Huron Central, or does the traffic go north out of the Soo on the ex-AC to Oba to the CN main? That would be a roundabout way. Also, IIRC, that is not the most direct connection between the International Bridge and the Algoma Central.
