Behold Mikados and F-units hauling manifest freight through remote territory patrolled by school cars. Watch bullet-nosed Mountains with the solid green heavyweight cars of the Continental wend their way across a landscape of lakes, streams and evergreens as far as the eye can see. Explore the switching operations of Consolidations handling pulpwood, lumber, coal and paper against a backdrop of log booms and pulp and paper mills between Longlac and Port Arthur. Travel behind a Pacific aboard an all-night local passenger train, an express extra or a weekly mixed. Observe the connections with the Ontario Northland at North Bay and the Algoma Central at Oba. From section houses and water tanks at remote sidings to the coal docks, roundhouses, icing platforms and division point stations at South Parry, Capreol, Foleyet, Hornepayne, Jellicoe, Nakina and Armstrong, this is single track mainline operation at its finest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSixth in a series of books by Ian Wilson documenting CNR operations during the 1950s, the 192-page Steam in Northern Ontario is laden with photographs, track maps, locomotive rosters, train profiles, time tables and descriptions of operations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ian Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57070799356064,"sku":"9780968381557","price":70.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/9780968381557.jpg?v=1779491394","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9780968381557","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
