Beach Sub Junction (This picture was taken in Burlington where the Beach Sub joins the main line Oakville Sub in October 1994.
The tracks were likely realigned in the mid 1960's when the Milton Sub was upgraded as the Halton Sub when the new Concord yard was opened.)

Beach Sub Torn Out (March 30 2008. We found were the Beach Sub had been pulled up. There were still piles of ties awaiting disposal.)

Georgetown Trail (A trail that skirts to the west of Georgetown but east of Trafalgar Road had the appearance of an old railway right of way. This could be a spur of the HNW)

Halton Sub - Vern exploring siding. (March 2006. There was a pocket track or siding on the Halton Sub at Lower Base Line that could have been for helper engines.)
