The CN Cayuga Sub was originally the CANADA AIR LINE across Southern Ontario from Fort Erie to St. Thomas following the north shore of Lake Erie. The United States railway Wabash held running rights between Buffalo and Detroit avoiding the more populated areas on the south shore of Erie. These lines were scaled back and many sections were closed. The last was between Delhi and Tillsonburg. First Trillium Rail and then Ontario Southland served the few remaining customers until April 30 2020 when Ontario Southland ran their last train.

A special was run to Delhi across the Big Creek Trestle Al and Roberta Sutherland photo.

Line was operated by Trillium in 2008.
Fort Erie - line went to Brantford Via Dunnville
The abandoned CN Cayuga Sub from Fort Erie to St. Thomas passed over Ontario Highway 24 at this point.
The trestle at Delhi seemed to be improved by Y06. J Mills looks over the bridge to the west.
This is how the CN Cayuga sub crossed a short valley on the west edge of Delhi Ontario. This bridge needs more repairs and there isn't enough revenue to make them worth while. The Cayuga sub is out of service at this point.

83 miles from Fort Erie. Update. The tracks are being removed from Delhi by CN crews in March 2021.
A street in Delhi goes under the Cayuga Sub.
W would indicate Whistle possibly for the main street crossing. A resident's fence was encroaching on the right of way.
The staton at Jarvis Ontario was being moved away from the old Right of way to a location chosen by the town.
The Jarvis station was being moved in May 2016.
This is the yard at Delhi Ontario. The plan at the time was to unload windmill blade trains for power generating windmills near and built into Lake Erie.
