Huron Central Railway is a Canadian railway operating in northern Ontario, operated by Genesee & Wyoming Canada Inc., the Canadian subsidiary of Genesee & Wyoming Inc. The Huron Central Railway was established in July 1997 to operate a route leased from the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The lease agreements encompass all but of track at the Sudbury end of the line, known within the CPR as the Webbwood Subdivision, as well as the Domtar Spur, which branches southwest from the Webbwood Sub at McKerrow. The CPR retains running rights over about of track at the east end of the Webbwood Subdivision, and the HCRY has running rights all the way into Sudbury. The railway operates one train in each direction six days per week between its two endpoints (westbound from Sudbury in the evening; eastbound from Sault Ste. Marie in the afternoon) plus a train, leaving Sudbury most mornings, to Espanola and return. On weekends, movements are combined. Coil steel manufactured by Algoma Steel in Sault Ste. Marie and freight from the Domtar paper mill at Espanola account for 80% of freight traffic,〔 although pulpwood, chemicals used by the steel industry, slab steel, paper, and miscellaneous goods are also carried. In 2008, the railway handled 16,000 carloads a year,〔http://news.ontario.ca/mndmf/en/2009/09/rail-service-upgraded-from-sault-ste-marie-to-sudbury.html〕 though carloadings have decreased in subsequent years. The route has variable topography and typically two to four locomotives are used to haul trains varying between 25 and 50 cars in length. The line parallels Ontario Highway 17 for much of its length. == Locomotive Roster == Several locomotives lettered for affiliate Quebec-Gatineau Railway also populate the roster. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Huron Central Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
