CTRW Prince Albert

  • Romet
Prince Albert is the heart of CTRW's operations, most of which are captured in this photo. Immediately to the left (just outside of frame) is this old CN '40 box, still with its roofwalk http://tinyurl.com/2se5qa
Right in front is the yard, great for train views if you could find a train that is. Just behind me is the wye, overgrown with weeds... In the back you can see the roundhouse, with a functional turntable, a TTX high-cube box on its side and the back of CTRW 1020: http://tinyurl.com/2bttwe The yard is mostly used as a tanker storage facility. Note the Superstore compund to the right, great for parking space and acessibility. I believe this where an elevaror once stood, although I'm open to corrections. If it wasn't there you could see CTRW's office - a typical MOW shack with a number of fancy CTRW banners. None of their cars/hi-railers that I've seen even have anything CTRW distinctive, just plain white color. There's also a number of CN "No Trespassing" signs, with CN phone numbers and other info crossed out (no longer CN property).

I wonder how much traffic this place sees, especially once the nerby paper mill closed down. A train a day maybe? Tri-weekly?
Where superstore is was once a meat packing facility, the elevetor was located adjacent two the two Pool Elevators that once stood on the cp side of 15th

Kertmit, thanks so much for the informative replies. I believe the remaining elevator was torn down recently, vacant since March.
 
Yeah, april first 2008 were its last days, torn down in sept 2008, got most of the signs from the outside before it went.
