In 2021, the Hantsport Gypsum Company was formed to purchase & reopen the old Fundy Gypsum mines southeast of Hantsport, and when deciding between a long conveyer belt & reopening the old Windsor & Hantsport Railway between the Mantua mines & the dock in Hantsport, made inquiries about putting the railway back into service.
The LT&L, leaping at the chance to reactivate another no-hope railroad branch, purchased the W&H, then rebuilt and electrified the the section between Mantua & Hantsport (Windsor to Windsor Junction had passed back into the hands of the Canadian National and had been (even more) unmaintained for 12 years; Hantsport to New Minas was still owned by the W&H, but it is in extreme disrepair due to large chunks of it being illegally converted to a rail trail. A few of the formerly online shippers are politely interested in getting rail service back, but the railroad would need to reclaim & rebuild either the Windsor to Windsor Junction or Truro to Mantua lines, so the LT&L said it would be undoable without a large construction grant from Nova Scotia.
(This is why the line is electrified; a short isolated railway is easier to keep running with electric power, and the extra CA$15 million to put up electrification was less than half the cost of rehabilitating this line)
The operational stub of the W&H is still officially a common carrier, but it was renamed to the Hantsport Mineral Railway because of what it moves for its only customer.
In 2024, the HMRY (with backing from the LT&L) purchased the out of service line from Windsor to Windsor Junction for railbanking. Some minimal MOW work is being done on it to stabilize the formation, but there’s no expectation that the line will be put back into service in the immediate future.
