Among the roads CN has absorbed over the years is the Algoma Central, which runs toward the interior of Ontario from Sault Ste Marie. I was not aware they had a shipping line as well. As our cruise docked in Quebec City, I was surprised to see this ship in the harbor; looks like its unloading coal. In years past, railroads had sometimes extensive marine operations, mostly tugs and barges, but also larger vessels, includiing ocean going ships. |
