WHRC Plow 55360 CEMR 4014 4011 Windsor Jct Jan 4 2010
Windsor & Hantsport Railway Company (WHRC) plow 55360 (ex CN) pushed by Central Manitoba Railway GP9RMs 4014 & 4011 (leased to the WHRC) and three empty grain cars have just arrived at Windsor Junction on January 4 2010.
Antique equipment still at work! Last year wet snow was apparently packed down by trespassing snowmobilers and then froze. First the locomotives derailed and later the plow derailed.
Finally the railroad had to rent a front end loader to dig out the tracks.
This year they are taking no chances!
With the economic downturn the gypsum mine has stopped work and so the freight from Windsor Junction to Windsor Nova Scotia (approximately weekly) is the only train on the railway. 
At Windsor the grain is unloaded with augers into trucks which transport it to the feed mills in the Annapolis Valley - the line from Hantsport to New Minas is out of service.
