C.N.R. report

K.S. MacDonald

...

Residents of the Tatamagouche and Scotsburn, Nova Scotia, areas, made a point in their protests recently when the C.N. line through there, scheduled for abandonment in the near future, was used to carry mainline traffic rerouted because of an accident on the mainline at Debert, near Truro. The accident, in which 22 cars were derailed and a bridge over the Debert River moved out of position, happened on July 23rd, and was probably caused by an overheated journal bearing. Residents along the Short Line from Oxford to Stellarton were pleasantly surprised to see even the Ocean Limited routed through their area.
