I here the POLE LINE is coming down on the C.P.R in the valley right now .

Good day Allan,
The rail is out south of Pembroke (at CN overpass) to Renfrew. I would think the pole line would be coming down at some point?? I have not heard of anything happening. Chris Hall started a thread about this back in the summer he or Randy Strong might know more about it. I know that somebody has been climbing in the Carleton Place area lots of stuff missing off the poles.

Can anybody confirm this?

I haven't been up since I was just about KILLED by an a**hole from the track removal contractor who forced me to drive at high speed down the trackbed near the golf course in Renfrew. I know he would have gotten stuck if he had stopped, but he almost hit me with 2 kids in the back.

ANYWAYS... ahem... now that they are probably all finished, ARE the poles coming down?

I was told last week that CP was taking them down.

Not yet.

No sign of any activity, in fact, ballast is piled on both sides of all crossings to keep vehicular traffic off.

At Renfrew they are still loading ties on centre beam flatcars. A single SD40 was sitting on the main line just west of O'Brien Street. In Cobden they are assembling and sorting ties.
