Re: Shortlines Train Location Heads Up - October 2023
Neither here nor there at this late hour, but I wanted to report that the Essex Terminal Ry. engine 108 spotted at least one tankcar at Hiram Walker Windsor on Friday around 4:30pm, and returned toward their yard lite power. I’m not sure if end-of-day in a Friday is a regular switch for this move, or not.

Facebook post showing track equipment in the JAIL Old Town spur today. Last week or the week before, someone mowed down the linear wildflower garden from Turner Street southeast. Something to keep an eye on!
