Description
"Ruins On The River" by Debbie Oppermann. The ruins of the old concrete generating plant or powerhouse stand on the shore of the beautiful Key River at Georgian Bay, Ontario Canada along with the remains of an over three hundred metre long dock that supported trains. Ore deposits from Sudbury were transported by train to Key Harbor and then transferred to the Great Lakes freighters. Coal shipments diminished as more engines were using diesel and the inevitable happened with the rail line being abandoned in the 1960's and the tracks lifted. Key Harbor is a "ghost town" now as it is only accessible by water and therefore there are only cottages and resorts in the area.
