Wyborn

Wyborn siding (mile 294.1) is located within the town of Hearst and just immediately south of the Hearst Junction wye connecting the Algoma Central to the former National Transcontinental Railway (later Canadian National) line. (This trackage was sold to Ontario Northland by CN in the late 1980s.)

At Wyborn, the ACR had a short siding and a long house track, which at many points was used for loading pulpwood. Just south of the siding, the ACR crosses the Mattawishquia River on a three-span deck plate girder bridge.
