Came across an article on the long gone Buffalo Bolt Company that had been on Oliver Street .

Online history shows a lot of rail action so of course had to look closer.

Nothing but an open field now.

Original trackage faily extensive

But now hard to see any indications of even where the sidings may have gone off the mainline.

Looking at those buildings, it's mind boggling to think how many jobs that place used to provide. :(

What's the date of that map?

Map is from ACME MAPPER so I don’t know..

One of those businesses that started in a two story building in late 1800’s and moved to NT employing at its peak 1500.
Closed in 50’s laying off 850.
