Coldwater got it name from the river
that runs on the east side of town past Northwestern Grain. It is
mountain spring and snow fed and is COLD year round. The
local population come to swim and do the polar bear plunge.
Coldwater has a small lime plant, Hooke Lime, that produces a
specialized lime for construction, and a couple of food industries, that
take advantage of the beautiful apples and other produce grown up here.
Delta Plumbing also has a small valve plant that makes the new hydro spa
showers and a cantankerous Scrap metal dealer at Witcofski Salvage down
from the Delta plant.
Looking east at
Coldwater toward the Coldwater River. Hooke Lime is to the
right with two spurs, one for the raw material and the 2nd finished
bagged product. Across the main line is Gibbons & Co.
This is the spur for
the Delta Plumbing plant and Witcofski Salvage.
Just past Northwestern Grain is the
bridge over the Coldwater River. The other side of the river is
the west side of Bridgewater.
Looking west in
Coldwater. If you look just to the left of the main line, you will
see some green stuff.......some of the only "scenery" on the entire layout.
