It is now taken out, at Struthers there was a branch leading up to Manitouwadge, Ontario to serve the mining, forest products, and chemicle industries. With the mines closing and the forests being cut further away from the tracks this line had little use and was taken out in the late 90's. There was also a connection to the CNR to Hillsport, ON.
