Canadian Railroads > F-Unit Friday - Supercontinental Over CP's Carleton Place Sub ROWDate: 03/05/21 13:23 F-Unit Friday - Supercontinental Over CP's Carleton Place Sub ROW Author: feclark On April 9, 1977, CN 6521 led what I guess was still CN's EB Supercontinental across the trestle carrying the Beachburg Sub over the right-of-way of the abandoned portion of CP's Carleton Place Sub, in Bells Corners, west end of Ottawa. The train has just come off the overpass of Moodie Drive at 0800, so it's about 75 minutes late, I think.

Thanks for the posting. ALLEN Date: 03/05/21 18:48 Re: F-Unit Friday - Supercontinental Over CP's Carleton Place Sub Author: moonliter Great photo once again Fred. At this time No.2 would have been still a CN train but under the new branding VIACN. It was due in at Ottawa at 07:15 so you are right about the "Super's" tardiness.

The bridge in Fred's photo has been removed and replaced with earth fill. Fred's photo was taken at Bell's Jct mile 11.6 Beachburg sub, my photo was taken at mile 13.58. At mile 14.4 was another junction called Nepean. There are no tracks left of the Beachburg sub from this point westward however the are tracks also heading west down the former Renfrew sub to Arnprior, ON. CN No.589 is heading to switch the Nylene plant in Arnprior.

CN had rebranded passenger service as VIA CN by the time I started shooting seriously in 1976, so a pure CN consist was not common for me. Also nice to see a freight on these tracks. Given that I was usually footbound and working west from Bells Junction, I didn't always make it out on the Beachburg, but I did make it to Nepean Junction a few times, and a couple of times as far as Strathearn, another mile or two past that. I guess more pulling and scanning projects. Sigh. When I returned to Ottawa, 1984-1991, I remember the earth fill, but not complete, and the bridge still in place.
