In 1996 I rode my Fairmont motor car in an organized excursion from Searchmont to the Canyon and back - 82 miles each way. I don't remember any road crossings in this stretch. The ex-Algoma Central depots were all still standing although no longer in use. We waited at Wabos for the northbound Canyon train to go by us. This was in the era when WC were using F units. It was truly an amazing sight.
