Let me guess - the bike trail used to be a railbed, and the red and white "Templeton Est" building used to be a train station?

We have a similar rail-to-trail that goes by near our house. It used to be the CNR spur from Sackville NB up to Cape Tormentine, where they would then transfer the rail cars onto a ferry to PEI.

They're doing that with the railbed that abuts my land. I think it's like an extra project for the construction company. They show up every now and then to do some work on it.

I don't know, picture #6 is a little too curvy for no reason to have been a rail line.  Maybe the trail builders added some features for interest.

That's an astute observation.

Confused2 Yeah...
Except for very slow trains.

Or they could've banked the turns more that what you see now.  Big Grin

My guess is an access path to & from the main trail.

One nice feature of former railbeds is that they tend to be level, so no steep hills to climb.
