The Canada Southern was once a busy double track mainline route, leased by the likes of the New York Central, seeking a faster way between New York and Chicago. For many decades passengers and freight were rushed across its well maintained rails.
In this exciting video, you'll visit the remaining active sections of this once mighty railroad. Enjoy the extensive footage of NS and CN action in more recent times, along with visits to the former Montrose yard and Fort Erie. We will also bring you to St.Thomas, once the bustling hub of the mighty Canada Southern. You will also enjoy coverage of Tibury's "wigwag" signals, which still activate with each passing train.
Included is archival 1970's era film footage of earlier times on the CASO, along with "then and now" scenes at various locations. We have also included coverage of CN#513, both in 1987 and nearly 20 years later as one of the last revenue trains to ever run west out of St.Thomas.
Join us in this close-up look at action along the CASO, past and present!
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed.
