BCRY Molson Lead #1
In 2017 planning was well under way to redevelop Barrie's old Molson Brewery lands and widen Big Bay Point Rd. Prior to commencing this work, the brewery lead had to be removed.
Through years of inactivity, the lead had become completely overgrown with vegetation and small trees which had to be cleared. A week prior to taking this photograph I noticed that the obstructing vegetation had been removed and is was now possible for a train to pass through.
The morning of August 31 was nice and sunny and as I drove home from work I made a point to track down the day's BCRY train. I found them as they were crossing Anne St and sure enough, in tow, were two modified gondolas that I assumed could be utilized for track removal.
This shot shows the crew shoving the two grass covered gondolas down the brewery lead. They slowly pushed them back across Big Bay Point Rd where they would be parked just inside the fence gate on the old Molson property.
Their work done, the crew would then depart the lead, leaving the actual rail removal for another day in the near future.
