Modelling CP Rail's Sudbury Division in the 1970s

Nairn

Since the Sudbury Division is a model of a prototype railroad at a specific place in a specific time period, we are reproducing, as best as we are able, scenes of real places as they looked in the 70s. One of those places is Nairn Centre, Ontario, referred to by the railroad simply as Nairn, on the Webbwood Subdivision about thirty miles west of Sudbury. Nairn is the site of a passing siding and, in the 70s, a short spur. Just west of Nairn the Pineland Spur takes off from the main line and heads north a short distande to a lumber mill. Nairn is important to Subdury Division operations because the siding is the major point for meets along the Webbwood Sub and because the Pineland Spur is the destination of the Nairn Turn or "Pulp Train" which delivers loads to the plants and returns to Cartier with empties.
