What's ahead, otherwise?

You've noticed that I have been ramping up my content creation on Substack. There will be much more of that to come this week. This platform allows me to do deep dives on subjects of interest to fans of steam operations on Ontario railways (with occasional forays eastward).

Your best option...

A subscription to the Canadian Branchline Substack platform is the only guaranteed way to see all content—and immediately upon release, at that.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to send me an email.

Also, please share the link to this post (via email, Facebook, other social media, etc.) with your friends interested in Canadian steam-era railway operations!
