Essex Terminal Railway
Essex Terminal Railway (reporting mark ETL) is a Canadian shortline terminal railroad, travelling from the Town of Amherstburg, Ontario, through La Salle, to the City of Windsor, Ontario in Essex County, Ontario a distance of 21 miles (32 km), with current connections to Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railway. The railway is owned by Essex Morterm Holdings.
History
The railway was founded in 1902 as a western connection of the GTR (Now present-day CN) to factories in the eastern end of Windsor. Construction of the line took place between 1902 and 1918. During World War II, the trains hauled military, and industrial equipment (i.e. Bren Gun carriers, and trucks, from Ford Windsor, and other industies,to rail interchanges,C.N.,C.P. N.Y.C., P.M.,and Wabash Railways.Windsor, Ontario,for delivery at eastern ports of Canada, and under the Detroit River, (2 tubes) to Detroit, Michigan, via the then[Michigan Central Railway Tunnel]to U.S. ports.Its turnaround, engine house, and main offices are on Kildare Road in downtown Windsor. Due to heavy development along much of the mainline, Essex Terminal has run its trains at a maximum of 12 MPH (20 km/h) in the city, and 20 MPH (30 km/h) in the county.
As a part of the urban renewal of Windsor, the railway sold several kilometers of spur lines in downtown (old Windsor)in 1998 to the City of Windsor and various developers, allowing new homes and businesses to be built along the former rail RoW. The Mainline was generally unchanged but the ETR became more dependanton down river traffic.

In September 2002, the ETR celebrated its 100th anniversary and brought its newly restored 1923 Number 9 0-6-0 locomotive down from St. Thomas, Ontario,The company was loaned several 1930s CPR and CN passenger cars to give rides to nearby residents that celebrated with the company.Number 9 currently operates out of Waterloo, On. heritage railway.
Ironically, a week after the centennial celebration, the ETR had its first serious derailment in over 10 years, caused by abnormally heavy rains soybean-carrying cars were involved. There were no injuries,the tracks were repaired and two nearby grade crossings repaved.
On September 12, 2007, Essex Terminal Railway had its second accident when a transport truck tried to race a slow moving ETR train across the Weaver Road at-grade crossing. ADM, and Morterm (a marine terminal )are accessed by Weaver Rd. The Windsor Rock Salt Mine is also near by. The SW-1200 locomotive clipped the rear of the trailer, tipping the transport truck onto its right side (the truck was heading west at the time and the locomotive was headed northbound) and ripped the axles off the trailer's box and frame. Aside from damaged to the transport truck, the locomotive also sustained some damage to one of its couplers, which had impacted the trailer. The driver (who was from Ohio) was uninjured and cooperating with Essex Terminal Railway officials and Windsor Police. Essex Terminal Railway later said in The Windsor Star,"that "that this is a reason why people should never try to beat a train."
In the summer of 2009 the Essex Terminal Railway signed agreements with the City of Windsor (a property owner)to allow 2 new rail spurs to be constructed on the west end of the city. The rail lines will serve 2 industries in the Ojibway industrial area. ETR currently has more than 15 customers in Windsor -and serves several customers in the town of Amhertburg including Honeywell and Diageo Distilleries.

Hopper $14.99 Now in rich color, thirty of American painter Edward Hopper’s masterpieces with critiques from acclaimed poet Mark Strand. Strand deftly illuminates the work of the frequently misunderstood American painter, whose enigmatic paintings—of gas stations, storefronts, cafeterias, and hotel rooms—number among the most powerful of our time.   In brief but wonderfully compelling comments accompanying each painting, the elegant expressiveness of Strand’s language is put to the service of Hopper’s visual world. The result is a singularly illuminating presentation of the work of one of America’s best-known artists. Strand shows us how the formal elements of the paintings—geometrical shapes pointing beyond the canvas, light from unseen sources—locate the viewer, as he says, “in a virtual space where the influence and availability of feeling predominate.”   An unforgettable combination of prose and painting in their highest forms, this book is a must for poetry and art lovers alike. From the Hardcover edition. |

Knowle and Dorridge Rail Crash $70.1 The Knowle and Dorridge rail crash was a fatal rail crash that occurred at Dorridge railway station in the West Midlands, England, in August 1963. Three people died in the crash after a signalmans error routed a small freight train into the path of an express passenger train which slowed but could not stop before colliding with it. The express was a Birmingham Pullman service travelling from Birmingham Snow Hill to London Paddington, having departed at 1pm. The freight train movement in Dorridge station was a routine shunting manouvre, one that often occurred both before or after the express train had passed through the station. The Pullman was 9 coaches long, and was hauled by an 11 month old diesel hydraulic Class 52 Western locomotive, No. 1040 Western Queen. The freight train was formed of a 20 ton hopper wagon, a pannier tank steam locomotive, a 20 ton brake van, an empty bogie flatcar, and a bogie flatcar loaded with Land Rover vehicles. The crash occurred in fine dry weather, at around 1.10 pm.
