Haliburton Subdivision chapter finished!

At a whopping 5,747 words, the Haliburton Sub chapter manuscript which I finished four days ago is about 3,000 words more than I planned for! It turns out that the postwar era lumbering industry in the Highlands was too doggone interesting to resist.

I have some modeling friends who are working on layouts depicting various aspects of the Haliburton Subdivision over the 1945-59 timeframe. Fellows, you are onto something; I trust that a number of other railway modelers will latch onto the possibilities of the late steam era Haliburton Subdivision when Steam Memories of Lindsay is published next spring.

I am now immersed in preparing background notes on the Lindsay-Peterboro section of the book, which at present is involving an exhaustive study of the industrial customers on the western portion of the Campbellford Subdivision, the Lakefield Subdivision and Peterboro itself.
