The former Georgian Bay and Seaboard station at Eldon is enjoying a nice retirement as a residence. This section of the Port McNicoll sub was abandoned in 1930.

This caboose and bunk car were once part of a boy scout camp. Time has not been kind, but it has survived one more winter.

After a late arrival at Midhurst, the Holiday train approaches the crossing of Old Second South at track speed. This was the first year I was not able to see the train in Midhurst due to work. Fortunately my meeting finished in time for me to get here to see it pass.

Bill Thompson's post of Sperry car 119 prompted me to do some digging. Here it is 31 years earlier in Calgary not looking much different other than paint. Photo and scan by my brother.

4068 performs a runpast just south of Mont Tremblant after turning the train at Labelle. This line is now the Petit train du nord trail. Photo likely taken by my Mother. Thanks to Google maps I was able to find this location 37 years later!

Fans start to gather at the Peterborough station on a Sunday morning to see Ex CP 4-6-0 1057 which was scheduled to run to Havelock and return from Toronto. A running gear problem would require the trip to be short turned at Dranoel. A large crowd was disappointed. Fortunately we found out where they were turning around and actually knew how to get to Dranoel. Photo by my Mother and scan my Brother

Cavan station in its later years. It still has the train board and the Dayliner still offered passenger service. It was demolished a couple of years later. The siding was usually used for car storage. Photo and scan by my Brother.

In what looks like a model railroad, 4068 exits the wye at Labelle near Mont Tremblant. This was a fall colours excursion from Montreal. All passengers got a turn in one of the dome cars. photo by my mother, scan by my brother.

A tank engine rests near a few others at what appears to be a gravel plant. This unlabeled photo was in a group of photos taken by my Grandfather during a time he was working on the powerhouse for the Churchill grain elevator. The topography is definitely not of the Churchill area. It took a while to determine where this shot was taken and this is the best I can determine. Presumably stone from this location was used for the construction of the line to Churchill and the elevator as well. A generating station was built on this site in the 70's. Photo by my Grandfather with editing assistance from the moderators.

During construction of the Churchill grain elevator, 0-4-0 #8 pushes what appears to be a stationary boiler under a tarp. Judging by the number of workers around, there must be a problem. The large steel frame is for the conveyor from the elevator out to the pier for loading boats. The travelling crane erecting the frame has a pair of booms and has a boiler in the corner. Photo taken by my grandfather from the roof of the powerhouse with editing assistance from the moderators.

Tourists on the Great Gorge Route get a good close look at the Niagara river. A lot of rock has come down since this photo was taken by my Grandfather in 1928. The line opened in 1895 as the Niagara Falls and Lewiston Railroad, running from Lewiston to the Honeymooner Bridge near the present day Rainbow Bridge. The line was merged and connected in 1902 with the Niagara Falls Park & River Railway line on the Canadian side and became known as the Great Gorge route. Rockfalls and landslides were a constant problem. The line on the Canadian side closed in 1932. A portion of the line is visible north of the botanical gardens and butterfly conservatory. The line on the American side closed in 1935 after a 5000 ton rock slide came down just north of the whirlpool bridge. On the American side a trail runs on the roadbed from the Rainbow Bridge to below the whirlpool bridge. Location approximate, editing by the moderating team.
