Let just say things are not what they use to be and this is going to require putting on our thinking hats on once more.
While Broad Street railroad crossing does not cross the CASO, but is in fact the CP Dunnville Spur (former TH&B Dunnville Subdvision).
At one time the Dunnville Spur once ran between Smithville and Dunnville, but this is not the case any longer.
The portion that was north of the former CASO main line was abandon and then removed and along with the railroad diamond cross over the former CASO mainline.
All that was there was taken out sometime in May 2001 according to Paul Duncan "CP Dunnville Spur" webpage:
www.niagararails.com/dunn.phtml
The former CASO mainline also shares a similar history as the route no longer fully runs across Southwestern Ontario, but only bits and pieces survive in 2023.
In this case the old CASO route only runs from the CP Welland Yard to where the CASO use to diamond with the CP Dunnville Spur.
Times have changed and right near where the Dunnville Spur would have crossed over the CASO would now be join.
While this could technically be describe as junction point, it really isn't.
In this day and age they're is no other proper name to describe this new line that is the fragmentated remains of 2 railroad subdivisions.
It's make us wonder how this is not a confusing way of running a railroad. Just name it something then the way it already is. Are we right with that?
Anyway if you enjoy this video then we have some other video the other active remanent of the former CASO line.
