We went out to see this today -- they'll be destroying it and filling it in shortly.
This is a corduroy road ("The corduroy road goes Bumpety-Bump.") dating from the early 1800s. It was exposed during construction of Kitchener-Waterloo's new streetcar line. The corduroy road was made by laying logs across the road. This area was originally swamp and the road was built by a fellow who had a mill. Newspaper article: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.therecord.com/news-story/6506777-impact-of-corduroy-road-delay-uncertain/">http://www.therecord.com/news-story/650 ... uncertain/</a><!-- m --> Interesting how much higher the road surface has become over 150 years.

Moderato ma non troppo Perth & Exeter Railway Company Esquesing & Chinguacousy Radial Railway In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task. Most modellers can get two of them to work.

A few pics of #26 as she gets ready to pull out with the yard shuttle. It was nice to smell coal smoke in Steamtown once again.
