DAR Tr M22

[Paul Charland]

DAR Train M22 was the last scheduled mixed on the Canadian Pacific system, lasting into the late 1970s. The train originated in the early morning at Truro, running south 40 miles to Windsor with interchange traffic from the Canadian National for the Annapolis Valley. While in Windsor the crew was responsible for any local work that needed to be performed. The train headed back to Truro in mid afternoon as M21.

After arriving at Brooklyn the crew lifts a woodchip hopper for Middleton and will spot the TH&B car at the Co-op before heading south.



M22 holds for a northbound gypsum empty at the entrance to the Miller Creek mine.



M22 passes the Wentworth gypsum mine on the way to Windsor.



The Mixed makes the station stop in Windsor before backing into the yard and doing the local switching.



After lifting an empty from Flemming and spotting a load of cans for Avon Valley, the crew heads back across the causeway to Windsor.



A stock car is setoff for the Agent at Windsor to inspect and have cleaned before it's sent back to Brooklyn for a load of cattle heading back to Newfoundland.



At Wentworth Road a car is lifted and Domtar and another is setoff for Swinamer.



That's about all for now, time to have lunch and a nap while waiting for Tr 24 from Kentville to arrive with the northbound cars from the Valley.

Hi Jim,

The Halifax Sub is complete, just having some people run the activities before the route can be posted. If you have MSTS it shouldn't be too much longer.
