When CP left this track to the OVR - time was ticking away - all of us that left and continued to work for CP elsewhere, knew it was just a matter of time before they would pull up the tracks...there is NO major industry on the line...you have to have that to pay the bills...years before this even occurred they ran the Mactier route with our intermodel trains...once CN & CP started running directional traffic on that line and the economy crashed - was a great time to say GOODBYE

Great video! This scene will become historic once the line is turned into nothing but a trail.

@EasternOntarioTracks They are in the ground now. There are many old sidings that have been removed where the railroads just leave the ties in. It all depends if they are good enough to be used in yard tracks or sidings or if they can find a buyer for them. I would assume in this case they would at the least gather them and stack them and come back for them a while from now.

I asked the guys doing the work where all this rail was going and they said Saskatoon.

@Briantrainman Yes, at least CP is doing well there.

I watched and photographed as the line was ripped up around Cobden this summer. I have listened to the trains rumble by and give blasts from their horns as they passed Pinewood Park road, which enters the campground there, for 18 years. The nights are now just too quiet.

Ontario will live to regret that it did not save this line.
