Points of interest along this line....

     Mile 83.0 (Delhi) : Main Street, Delhi : This is Delhi. The CN Cayuga Subdivision used to run both east and west from here, but the line no longer goes east.

The line is known as the CN/TR Cayuga Spur to the west.

     Mile 89.9 (Courtland) : Talbot Street, Courtland :

Mile 94.4 (Tillsonburg) : Vienna Road, Tillsonburg : At Tillsonburg are a few buildings. They are located right beside the road, so they are easy to find.

     Mile 100.4 (Corinth) : Culloden Road, Corinth :

     Mile 108.5 (Aylmer) :John Street, Aylmer : At Aylmer, there really isn't much to see. The CN/TR Cayuga Spur just passes through Aylmer.

     Mile 118.7 (Jct. with CN Talbot Subdivision) : Manitoba Street, St. Thomas : The CN Talbot Subdivision runs north off of the CN/TR Cayuga Spur just east of the west end of the CN/TR Cayuga Spur.

Mile 119.0 (St. Thomas) : Flora Street, St. Thomas : The west end of the CN/TR Cayuga Spur is located here. There is a small yard located here.


Operations on this line....

     The CN/TR Cayuga Spur is the west end of the CN Cayuga Subdivision. This line was removed between CN Feeder West and Delhi after December 1995. I remember traveling in May of 1996 and seeing the rail lifting train at the diamond of the CN Hagerville Subdivision lifting rail on the the CN Cayuga Subdivision.
     For many years only NW then NS trains used this line west of CN Feeder West. Though they ran from Buffalo to St. Thomas, CN trains only ran as far as Feeder West to gain access to the CN Canal Subdivision (Spur).
     NS 327, 328, 145 & 146 all ran the full length of the CN Cayuga Subdivision until 1995. The last suspected train was eastbound on a mid afternoon weekday of either a Tuesday or Thursday in October of 1995.
     These days the old CN Cayuga Subdivision in south western Ontario is referred to as the CN/TR Cayuga Spur. CN operated on this line until early November of 1998, until the line was handed over to the St. Thomas & Eastern.
