The big picture – Nanaimo assembly wharf

The big picture,Nanaimo harbour

I’m assuming that this is part of the Nanaimo assembly wharf – the magical place where train cars, containers and other bits and piece such as logs and bundles of lumber are assembled in one spot to be loaded onto a barge or a freighter.

This particular section is between the marine railway terminal (the old Black Ball and then CP Marine terminal) and the new cruise ship terminal.
