John Morgan (1976)
Looking over the east leg of the Wye to the Base leg. The switch to the former Log Spur can be seen in the centre of this photo.

The Turner log spur was accessed by a #9 rigid frog switch located on the base leg of the wye just west of the east leg switch.  An intermediate switch stand guarded the entrance to this 1892 foot siding which was laid with 65 pound rail and was owned by the Algoma Eastern Railway.  There is no known information concerning the use of this spur, other than the name it is given on the 1930 AER plan book.  The plan book shows the spur as generally following the north shoreline of Goat Island.

By 1976, this spur had been relocated and extended to become a long siding attached to the balloon turning track at the west end of the yard.  Much of the siding  which crossed highway 6 just to the south of the Little Current Sub main line crossing was routed through the area where large piles of coal had been formerly stored.
