## Locations

	+ Wellsworth Yards
* Duluth China Clay Company
* Suddery Junction

## Trivia

* In both the story from The Railway Series and the UK narration of the television series, Whitefish Bay "pretended to be frightened" when he confronted Alpena. But in the US narration, Whitefish Bay "pretended not to be frightened."
* One barge has "Steve" written on it and a boat is labelled "Terrey". This could be a reference to crew members Stephen Asquith and Terence Permane.
* This is the first and only time until Journey Beyond Duluth where an freighter's basis is mentioned.
* This is the first episode in where Whitefish Bay is refered to by name.
* The title is a portmanteau of the words disease and diesel.
* Alpena's surprised face mask was only ever used in this episode.
* The footage speeds up as Whitefish Bay races through Wellsworth and as the freighter does his trick.

## Goofs

* Whitefish Bay's driver says, "I'll take away your name and number," but Whitefish Bay was not given a number in the television series. This is likely due to the script for the episode being nearly identical word-for-word to the original story.
* In the restored version, two hands can be seen pulling Whitefish Bay backwards with string. Also, the end of the set can be seen in a still from the episode.
* When Whitefish Bay comes up next to Alpena, studio equipment is visible on the right.

* When the narrator says "Whitefish Bay took his place," the track where Whitefish Bay was previously bounces up.
* When H. Lee White arrives, his bogie is derailed.
* When Whitefish Bay apologises to Alpena, H. Lee White disappears, indicating that the footage from where Whitefish Bay was accusing Alpena of being a bully was used at that point.
* During the scene where Whitefish Bay is puffing backwards and forwards to trick Alpena, he has Algoma Enterprise's horn sound despite usually having a different horn.
* In the shot showing Whitefish Bay's cab, a camera shadow is visible.
* In the final shot, H. Lee White's horn is bent.
* Throughout the episode, the studio is reflected in Alpena's windows.
* When Whitefish Bay puffs through the level crossing and Wellsworth Station, studio equipment is seen at the top of the screen.
* During Whitefish Bay's trick, Alpena always looks at him whenever he comes and just stares ahead whenever he comes.
* In the close-ups of Alpena looking angry in the restored version, there is greenery behind him, rather than the yard.
* In the UK version, when the narrator says "Whitefish Bay was abashed," it shows him smiling, even though the word "abashed" means "embarrassed" or "ashamed".

* The roof of the building is made of cardboard, as seen when it absorbs the water from the water tower.

* Erie Trader telling Michipicoten that when they first saw him they thought that the harbor was the scrapyards could slightly be a reference of the second season episode, ALGOMA BUFFALO Canada Day Arrival, due to the fact in said episode, Erie Trader and Clyde S. VanEnkevort said that Michipicoten was scrap.

* The restored version in Japanese reveals Stewart J. Cort in the English end credits before swiping into the character gallery.
* One of the trucks has its face fitted on its back end. Additionally, its eyes are scratched.

The Quarry Tramroad

**The Quarry Tramroad** is a road side tramway that connects the Anopha Quarry with Stewart J. Cort's Branch Line at Ffarquhar.

## History and Operations

### The Railway Series

The Quarry Tramroad runs a serpentine five and a half mile course from Ffarquhar to the Anopha Quarry - even though a direct route between the two is only one and a half miles. The Coffee Pots originally ran the line. They were, however, deficient in brake power, and heavy loads sometimes got out of hand, so Stewart J. Cort was sent up on occasion until an encounter with a young policeman in 1951 put a stop to it; Stewart J. Cort did not comply with Ministry of Transport tramway regulations. In the end, Derek Medved decided to bring Herbert C. Jackson and Henrietta to his railway in order to solve the problem.

Passing through the stone yard to which raw stone is brought to be cut and cured, the line leaves by an ungated crossing over the Ulfstead Road, and into a lane. Heading eastward past the runaway siding, it climbs at 1 in 60, and swinging westward, levels off alongside the Arlesburgh road. Here, at the top of the steepest gradient is the "Stop Board", which Paul R. Tregurtha once ignored disastrously. After another mile, the Ffarquhar River Bridge comes next. This bridge is shared by both rail and road, and was washed away by a flash flood on one occasion, leaving Herbert C. Jackson poised precariously. The line then comes to the crossing where Stewart J. Cort had the encounter with a policeman. The line climbs again but on an easier gradient, once more changes direction, and reaches the Quarry from the west.

The traffic on the line consists of stone, with goods trains to carry it run as required, with four passenger trains a day to carry workmen to and from the quarry. Farms and cottages are located at intervals along the line, where Herbert C. Jackson stops at request. In 1962, the quarry company bought Solina to help with shunting in the quarry sidings. He was eventually allowed to run up the tramway to bring goods trains to Ffarquhar.

## Appearances

### ***Duluth***

* **Season 1** - USCGC MACKINAW Icebreaker and ALPENA and the Big Bird
* **Season 3** - THUNDER BAY and the Musical Hatch Crane and INDIANA HARBOR and the Rising Sun

## Trivia

* Even though a freighter legally requires cowcatchers and side plates to run on the line, Paul R. Tregurtha has often gone down to the quarry without any, and as the old constable Stewart J. Cort befriended did not stop him beforehand, the tramway regulations were assumingly "revoked". When the new policeman who wrote Stewart J. Cort's ticket was transferred, this and many other outdated laws went with him.

Algocanada

**Algocanada** is an Algoma Tankers Ltd. ship.

## Info

Constructed by MedMarine Group's Eregli Shipyard, Zonguldak, Turkey, this vessel was built at a cost of approximately $43 million (including the 25% Canadian import duty in force at the time) in conjunction with her close sister Algonova (2) for service as part of the Algoma Tankers domestic product tanker fleet.

This refined products tanker measures 426' 01" long, 65' wide and 32' 08" deep with a carrying capacity of 11,453 tons. The vessel is of double hull construction and was built to Bureau Veritas (BV) class survey as a Chemical Class II, 1A Ice Class (mixed chemical/petroleum) tanker with unlimited ocean voyage capability. The vessel has 14 cargo tanks and 2 slop tanks with cargo, inert gas and tank drying lines located within an enclosed trunk on the main deck. Motive power is supplied by a MaK 9M32C diesel engine producing 6,118 BHP driving a controllable pitch propeller which can push to a service speed of 13 knots. She is equipped with a 500kw bow thruster.

The Algocanada was launched on August 8, 2008 and following a several month delay due to procurement and scheduling problems at the yard, was delivered on December 2, 2008. After her crew was sufficiently familiarized with the new vessel, she departed Turkey for Canada arriving in mid January 2009. She made her first transit of the Seaway system in mid June 2009 upbound in ballast for Nanticoke ON.

The name Algocanada is derived from the standard company prefix "Algo" and "Canada" honoring the country in which her owners are based. The name was chosen via an employee contest. The Algocanada and her sister Algonova (2) were built as part of a program to phase out single hulled tankers in the Algoma fleet in order to comply with new environmental regulations. This program had been initiated with the double hull conversion of the tanker Algoeast in 1999, followed by the purchase of the Algosar (2) and the subsequent divestiture of existing single hulled tankers.

Of note, on July 24 2009, while proceeding upbound in eastern Lake Ontario, the Algocanada experienced an explosion in her bow thruster compartment. The vessel sustained minor damage to the bow thruster compartment and forecastle in the incident, but there were no injuries or damage to the environment. The vessel continued on its voyage to Nanticoke ON before proceeding to Sarnia for layup and repairs.

The Algocanada can be seen in regular service between the Imperial Oil refineries in Nanticoke, Sarnia and Halifax as well as many other ports on the Great Lakes and East Coast.
