N.S. in Ontario
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, May 24, 2004 8:59 PM
I live between Windsor and London on C.N.'s main line (milepost 29 Chatham sub.is right behind my barn) and have become aware of the lack of N.S. traffic that used to run here to Glencoe then onto the Paynes sub to St.Thomas. The paynes sub is rusting,no more do I see the "Thoroughbreds" going by. Has N.S.left Ontario?

Canadianrails,

To be honest with you, i have never seen (or only 1 time at the most) - NS on the CN mainline in Canada. My favorite train watching spots is just west of London (CN and CP run parallel with each other for about 1/4 mile and about 5 miles past there is a diamond where CP can get on the CN mainline to Windsor). I have been watching trains there for about 6 years now and go to Canada on average, 5-6 times per year as I live in Worcester, MA (about 40 miles west of Boston).

I would love to see NS on this line. Sorry I didn't answer your question.
