The culvert area which is farther west may have trails in the vicinity as well, plus there's a quarry road that runs north of Taylor-Kidd and the Millhaven Spur right-of-way that approach the CN. Again, all private property.<br /><br />I haven't spent a lot of time there (except while passing through onboard VIA), but wanted to visit once to get some photos of the area.<br /><br />Have you seen this post on the now much quieter Millhaven Spur:<br /><br />http://tracksidetreasure.blogspot.com/2010/10/afternoon-on-millhaven-spur-1997.html<br /><br />Thanks for your comments,<br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-2354825218176309232012-01-02T22:52:49.111-05:002012-01-02T22:52:49.111-05:00Thanks for the reply,

Those that own the land didn't mind a friend and I to walk their trails to the cut, but they were adamant on us staying on the trail and only going to the cut and not wandering.Adam C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-71230207397432741902012-01-01T22:33:44.392-05:002012-01-01T22:33:44.392-05:00Hi Elijah, and Happy New Year!

Not anticipating going back to a Manitoba prototype, even with Rapido's GMD-1 announcement.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments,<br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-38230978360634207272012-01-01T22:32:12.645-05:002012-01-01T22:32:12.645-05:00Well Adam, the area I mentioned is largely inacces...Well Adam, the area I mentioned is largely inaccessible. The Cut itself if visible from Wilton Road where it crosses the CN at Mi 184 Kingston Sub. There is a long fill which makes walking the track dangerous. Good view looking west down the tangent from the Cut, though. This post shows a view looking east from the Cut:<br /><br />http://tracksidetreasure.blogspot.com/2009/08/trackside-treasure-first-anniversary.html<br /><br />I hiked through the cedar scrub to the culvert area shown in my visit, which is farther west. Be judicious and cautious as you scope out your approach, due to private property.<br /><br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-10470161557311150892012-01-01T22:27:39.319-05:002012-01-01T22:27:39.319-05:00Happy new year!
