Canada Southern Siding Capacities
Locations are listed in alphabetical order.
Information is from selected timetables. I have many timetables from the 1910's up to the early 70's and and can provide siding capacities for these on request, though later timetables do not show such information.
NOTE: Siding capacity based on 40 foot cars for 1916 and 44 foot cars after 1932.
