Video of the former Canadian National Railways Graham Subdivision near Sistonen’s Corners, ON. Features the grade at what was know as Conmee Junction, which was created in 1924 when the former Grand Trunk Pacific Lake Superior Division was rerouted following the establishment of Canadian National Railways in 1919. The line, now christened the Graham Subdivision, would share trackage with the Kashabowie Subdivision to Conmee Junction and then cross the Matawin River on a newly constructed bridge and then rejoin the original grade. Conmee Junction disappeared when the Graham Subdivision was abandoned in 1994. Includes a portion of the original Canadian Northern Railway Port Arthur Subdivision which saw almost two miles of its route realigned as a result of the new construction.
