Great posts , I will probably never get up there to see any of this railway lore so I appreciate the history . I have been following many electric lines in the south but most have been bulldozed over or are private property . With the building craze here for housing I think it will all be lost to history . Many thanks !

Thanks, and thanks for following along. I'm glad you're enjoying these videos. There are many more on the way!

11:00 ...the mesh ..confluence is downstream(left side of video) from this location a few km, can be seen from the 102 bridge over the Kam River actually. The Shebandowan River connects to the Matawin many km upstream south of Shabaqua Corners.

5:13 this pit was used when I moved to Kam in 75 and for at least a decade longer maybe more.

No doubt. They took a lot of material out of that pit.

@kam75 14 дней назад

hard to believe they did all this work for only a short operational time....

It is very sad, but it shows how quickly things can change, in this case when CN was created.
