The inagural run of GO Transit's permanent weekend service to Toronto boards passengers at the Allandale Waterfront Station. The weather demonstrates the benefit of this service.

After being relocated to the Simcoe County Museum in 2008 to allow for road reconstruction in Barrie, 1531 has had its asbestos removed. Despite the appearance, it is probably in better hands here at the museum.

Built to last. This wig wag signal has been on the side of Islington Avenue a long time. I recall seeing it about 35 years ago when there was nothing around and thought it was long gone. Today it is surrounded by development but it is in surprisingly good shape. There are redevelopment signs on the site, so I doubt it will be there 35 years from now.

A long way from home, Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo 0-6-0 #42 sits on display in Lindsay. Renumbered to #40 in 1959, it was part of the National Museum of Science & Technology collection where it was occasionally operated. It was donated to the Town of Lindsay in 1989 where it was locked away inside a building on Lindsay Street North. In 2000 it was moved to Old Mill Park under a wood framed pavilion that made viewing the engine difficult and vandalism was a problem. In 2009 it was moved again to be beside the display train donated by CN.

In the days before welded rail and ditch lights, M-420 2556 leads a pair of SD-40's east approaching Port Hope. The M-420's would later be lightened and renumbered to the 3500 series. Photo by my brother.

The flange squeal point. The south end of the Allandale waterfront station has a curve. Northbound trains are braking as they enter the curve in to the station, Southbound trains squeal as well. The shavings on the rail base have built up and are highlighted by the lack of rain.

Go F59PH 564 waits out the weekend in the Barrie yard. For us older railfans this is the proper location for the horn and bell.

62.7 miles to Toronto. When the Grand trunk Allandale station buildings were restored back in 2011, the painted station name and distances to Toronto and North Bay were uncovered on both sides of the curved canopy connecting the station to the restaurant. Mile marker 63 is now located just ahead of the cab car in the distance on the new portion of the Newmarket sub, formerly the Allandale yard.
