I paid a wonderful visit to Cape Breton eight summers ago --- my first trip there --- and have been wanting to go back ever since. My chance may come this August.
I stayed in Louisbourg for a couple of days when I was there in '97 (what a delightful town!!), and visited the Sydney & Louisbourg Railway Museum, housed in one of the railroad's old cabooses. I also purchased a book on the line's rather colorful history.
Assuming I get back there this year, I'd like to traverse some of the old ROW. I know pretty much where it goes; I gather quite a lot of it is still extant (it really hasn't been gone all that long). Is it driveable/hikeable? Any particularly interesting artifacts to be seen along the way?
