There were various small piles of old ties on the side of the old ROW and there was one large compound full of hundreds of old ties and semi trailers. There are still some excavators on the right of way so work must be still ongoing in 2015.<br /><br />Looking at the CEMR site they confirm on their system map the end of line is now East Selkirk at the Hydro Plant. they may be keeping that line for transformer and boiler moves.mbhydrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114132411118080427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600515.post-64764028216682154052013-06-10T02:10:30.616-05:002013-06-10T02:10:30.616-05:00I like the 'Add to cart' on the listing.I like the 'Add to cart' on the listing.
