Winter on the Hanley Spur

I'm not unhappy to 'kick winter to the curb' or more precisely, the snowbank along the curb! In February, 1982 CN 3661 was breaking through the snowbank at Montreal and Railway Streets, perhaps switching MacCosham or heading back to CN rails after switching one of the other ex-CP-served industries. With the help of the sectionmen!

Three years later, on February 8, 1985 the Whig published this snow dump. Located just west of Division Street, north of the CN tracks, city trucks loaded by loader or snowblower would create a pile of slushy, sandy snow each winter. In the background are a CN crane outfit, coupled to CP interchange cars.
