The Long History of the ICR on the Carleton Railway
At least as far back as 1965, as these photos prove, the Island Central has been shipping products to and from Carleton County on CRL rails. After more than 40 years of the ICR diverting revenue from the Carleton Railway, it is high time that the Carleton Railway begins to compete for ICR traffic (click on photos to enlarge). 
An ICR mechanical reefer has just been unloaded at the White Road Produce warehouse in Avondale and wil soon be routed back to Saint John as an empty. 
Two ICR pulpwood flatcars have just been loaded in East Newbridge and will head for the Irving mill on the next eastbound train.

Nice to see traffic from each railway on the other. I know the ICR traffic arrives at Millville for the Carleton Railway. Where does the Carleton Railway traffic arrive on the ICR?
thanks

Doug brings Carleton Ry. equipment in from the Shogomoc Subd. at McAdam. That is the old (now abandoned) CPR line from McAdam to Woodstock and on to Edmundston. At Newburg Jct. (just north of Woodstock) the Shogomoc Sub met the Gibson Sub which went through Millville and on to North Devon (Fredericton).
