DonCoulman's 4 photos on Railpictures.ca:

Due into Guelph at 1905h, Monday through Friday commuter train 161 crosses "Allan's Bridge" on approach to Guelph station. The old CC&F "Canadian Flyer" heavyweight coaches were seen frequently on this train over the years. After detraining passengers, the equipment will depart for CN Guelph Junction, <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=42811>parking in XW36</a> until its next call to service. CN 4518 will be <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=32602>rebuilt to CN GP9Rm 7226</a> in 1986, retired in 2021.<br><br><i>Donald Coulman Photo, Jacob Patterson Collection Slide.</i>

Taking a step across Alice Street from <a href=https://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=54355>last week's posting,</a> a wider view of the CPR Guelph engine house facilities on the Fibreglass Spur in Guelph. CPR MLW S11 6617 is assigned as the Guelph yard engine.

<br><br>As mentioned in previous comments by retired CPR conductor, Ron Bowman, the CPR structure at left was sold for use as a private residence, now located at 28 Sackville Street, just a little way behind the photographer around the wye.

CPR MLW S11 6617 was assigned as the Guelph yard switcher during the summer of 1972, seen here on the Fibreglass Spur, just south of Alice Street alongside the engine house. Shortly, the crew will be onboard, and headed down to the Fiberglas Canada Inc. facility. Fibreglas Canada Inc. became Owens Corning Canada Inc. in September, 1989, and the facility is still <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=47246>served today by the GEXR.</a> The engine house was demolished in the late 1970s.<br><br><i>Donald Coulman Photo, Jacob Patterson Collection Slide.</i>

With its <a href=https://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=45078>photo stop alongside CNR 6167 complete,</a> CNR 6060 starts to pull down to Guelph's station for another brief stop. Todays trip was chartered by the Buffalo Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, running from Niagara Falls to Guelph via Lynden and Harrisburg Junction. GP9 4524 at right is the power for the Guelph yard job, tied down with its van in track XW41.
<br><br>6060's travels were well documented on this trip:
