CN used to bring trash cars from Toronto to Flat Rock. They would be parked on the limestone spur lead in Rockwood and transloaded to trucks. I haven't seen the trash cars in several years or more. I wonder where these cars are from. Sometimes Lees Construction, which uses the old Pontiac Car Shop, loads trash .

The last two cars of the northbound manifest are blocking Johnson St (south end of Pontiac yard)

It’s led by 2 NS and 1 CN units

It has a block of trash cars on the headend
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Coming through YD SB now. Leader has a K5LA.
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

If this is a problem get used to it.
