Barrie Ontario CN Newmarket Sub - Heavy Freight Traffic Towards the End

September 14, 1996, just about a week to closing of the Newmarket Sub through Barrie and Orillia, and we see the second half of the North Bay Job - #450 - southbound around the bay and passing the Barrie (former Allandale) Station. By that time, action on this former division point was pretty much down to the North Bay freights and Via Canadian, as seen in "Barrie to Parry". Transferred from HD Videocassette by the crew at sceniking.com.

RIP when barrie was just a simple town than being the 3rd most expensive city to rent in Canada.

Thanks for the memories. Loved seeing the train on the waterfront.

That's super cool.

Remember seeing some of the archives at the library, if correct Barrie wanted the tracks gone not CN. They wanted the area for tourists, could you confirm.

Are you going to be uploading the video footage of the rail train at some point? Great video

[@sva60_cyyz59]

Awesome vid! What other freights would use this portion of the line before the closure?

[@Boxcarphilly]

The Newmarket Sub, that was a mainline. No ribbon rail?

[@FrogandFlangeVideo]

Great vintage footage. Thanks a lot.
