CNoR/CN-Kinghorn (Dorion) Subdivision MP 81.2

12 Feb

Video of the former Canadian Northern Railway/CN-Kinghorn (Dorion) Subdivision (MP 130.9) at Red Rock, ON. Features the grade as it heads south alongside the Nipigon River and the Canadian Pacific mainline with the scene of a tragic November 1911 accident. Working to infill the river outboard of the Canadian Pacific grade, labourers were blasting rock when two were stuck by a passing eastbound CPR train and killed.

Active, 1914-2005.
