Mile 75.2 (Jeannette's Creek) : Concession 2, East Tilbury Township : Jeannette's Creek is a little village along the No. 2 road between Chatham and Windsor. It is easy to photograph in this general area because the CN Chatham Subdivision crosses back and forth over #2 a few times.

The CN Chatham Subdivision these days (as opposed to the 1980's) runs between Komoka, west of London and travels southwest through Chatham then west to Windsor.
The Chatham Subdivision used to be double trackage until one track was removed shortly after the yard was removed on the harbor in Windsor. I been told that this happened in the mid 1980's.
The CN Chatham Subdivision originally headed west out of St. Thomas via the present CN Paynes Subdivision trackage to Glencoe, then headed south through Chatham, then on to Windsor.
The CN Chatham Subdivision doesn't begin at mile 0.0 now because the new mileage of the line is 7.1 miles shorter and it would have been too much trouble to renumber the mileages of the line. Therefore, the old CN Chatham Subdivision was 7.1 miles longer than it is these days.
There are only a handful of freight trains that operate on the line now that CN relocated their yard from Windsor to Sarnia.
CN freight trains use the CN Chatham Subdivision as far west as the CSX Sarnia Subdivision in Chatham and head south on the CSX Sarnia Subdivision to Fargo on the CN Caso Subdivision, then continue to Windsor via the CN Caso Subdivision to the U. S. via the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel.
VIA is the primary operator of this line with a handful of passenger trains daily in both directions between Windsor and Toronto accessing the CN Strathroy, CN Dundas and CN Oakville Subdivisions.
These photos are of the majority of the CN ownership of the Chatham Subdivision, between Komoka and Chatham.
