The Carleton Railway continues to serve its industrial customers by transporting their products to developing markets. Rumours via the Island Central Railway that the paper mills in Saint John were looking for additional supplies of wood chips led the Carleton Railway to purchase appropriate rolling stock. Patterson's Mill in Northampton now has a market for its surplus woodchips, and the Carleton Railway not only has additional revenue but continues to build its customer base in the port city. In the photo below, the first Carleton Railway wood chip car can be seen in the ICR's Dever Road yard.
Later the same day, an efficient ICR switch crew can be seen spotting the car at the Irving paper mill. That is "The Atlantic" in the foreground, preparing to leave Union Station.
It was a great night of operating on Doug Devine's layout! The Carleton Railway's next operating session will be on Friday evening, May 4 (7 p.m. - 10 p.m.).
