Potatoes and the Carleton Railway

The potato industry is very important in Carleton County, and the string of six line-side potato houses in Rosedale are an important source of freight for the Carleton Railway.

These photos show some of the scenery progress this fall in the "Big Lake" area between Millville and Hawkins Corner. Lots of details need to be added, but the track was ready for the operating session in late September.

Big Lake, in spite of its name, is actually a very small lake.  It is a quiet relaxing spot until a train crosses the bridge!  

The Carleton-York Peddler is powered by two RS3s as it passes the covered bridge near Big Lake. 

The Fast Freight West crosses the brook on its way from Millville to Avondale.
