The city-owned Guelph Junction Railway has added a new customer, Flash Freight Systems, constructing a siding on the city’s north end near Woodlawn Avenue and Edinburgh Road. Flash Freight, headquartered 8 miles north of Guelph in Ariss, Ontario, will be using the siding to transload cement, potato flakes, peas, and lumber. The siding was constructed in June 2022, with the first few hundred feet going into service later that month. It has now been extended to nearly 1,000 feet to meet the transload needs of multiple customers. The siding is located on a former Canadian National right-of-way that once ran north to Fergus and Palmerston.
The railroad also built an additional siding in May 2022 to support industries in the south end of Guelph.
I hope they don’t mix up the potato flake with the cement, A real stick to your ribs meal.
Lol. A solid meal it would be!
Good to see G&W investing for new business.
