The end of the line for one of Canada’s oldest clubs


The large concrete arch bridge at Bigric Jct. is one of the scenic highlights of the railway. The 15′ long suspension bridge and can- tilever arch bridge behind it were both built in the early 1940’s and served on the Union Station layout. Here (above and left) a CPR passenger train passes overhead, while a CORY freight lumbers over the steel truss bridge beneath it.

Total track length was recently calculated at just over 6,000 feet. Track- age rights have been granted to CN and CP over certain sections of the line al-

With the recent availability of accurate O scale Canadian locomotives, this has provided the club with an even greater Canadian flavor. All foreign road freight cars enter and exit the CORY mainline via the in- terchanges with the CN and CP, both of which have large hidden storage yards. Car forwarding is handled by time tested and familiar paper waybills, allowing for realistic traffic to incorporate any of the over 100 on-line industries and inter- changes. Passenger trains are run by printed
