Extra Credit XXXVI “The Kinghorn, Part VII (Orient Bay, Ontario)”
Extra Credit is video series that examines topics related to history in the Thunder Bay District and exploring that history.
This episode, the seventh in sub-series on the former Kinghorn Subdivision, takes us to the southern part of Orient Bay, from Cove Inlet to Shadow Creek Road. This is the most scenic stretch of this former line and one of the most scenic areas in the entire district, which is accentuated by the beautiful fall colours. Here the line winds its way south, mostly on rock fill causeways, eventually crossing from the east to the west side of the bay. Old and current businesses and sidings mark the way, along with railway infrastructure.
Enjoy!
Extra Credit XXXV “The Kinghorn, Part VI (Cameron Falls, Ontario)”
Extra Credit is video series that examines topics related to history in the Thunder Bay District and exploring that history.
This episode , the sixth in sub-series on the former Kinghorn Subdivision, takes us to the area north of Nipigon to Cameron Falls and the Nipigon River Bridge. This scenic stretch of grade along the Nipigon River is dotted with rock cuts, high embankments and tributaries flowing into the river. This area was once busy with activity when the Cameron Falls generating station (1920) and later the Alexander generating station (1930) were constructed on the river. Along the way you’ll witness some of the issues that have arisen on the line after heavy snowfall has caused the grade to become blocked with vegetation.
