Port Colborne's Canal Days is an annual event held over the civic holiday weekend (Aug. 4 - 7, 2000 - exact day approximate) celebrating the Welland Canal and the prosperity it has brought to the town and Niagara Region. During the early years of Trillium's Port Colborne Harbour Railway, short excursions were held using ALCO C-425 6101, ALCO S1 308, and coaches from the Medina Railroad Museum in New York. Here, 6101 is seen along Park Street just west of Catharine Street.<br><br>More Canal Day trips:<br><a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=48369>Soutbound at Elm Street, Arnold Mooney, 1999</a><br><a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=14114>Coming back into town, Arnold Mooney, 1999</a><br><a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=51499>Just outside of town, Bruce Acheson, 2000</a>

In late May 1978, one of ONR's TEE train sets was in southern Ontario on display during Belleville's Railway Week festivities. To return the equipment to Toronto, and then north, the UCRS arranged an excursion from Belleville over the Campbellford and Uxbridge Subdivisions, taking the unusual equipment to places it typically wouldn't be seen. Here the train pauses on Bethune Street in Peterborough at the site of the former CN station.

Second 44, second career. Built in September 1917 by the Canadian Locomotive Company of Kingston as TH&B 48, the little B-2-s class 0-6-0 would be renumbered in 1947 to TH&B 44 (first 44 renumbered 42). The locomotive would be retired in January 1955 and sold to Stelco, eventually being scrapped at an unknown date. The engine appears to be working around the Stelco-owned Hamilton By-Product Coke Oven Company facility.<br><br>Many thanks to John Spring for information on the locomotive and location.<br><br>Doug Page Photo, Bruce Acheson Collection Slide.</i>

Westbound CN 431 rolls through Guelph station behind a pair of GMD GP40-2LWs, a pair of MLW bigs and another geep. Note the two vans on the head of the train, one each from PSC and Hawker-Siddeley.<br><br>At right, Guelph's <a href=https://www.tyrcathlen.ca/files/produce-depot.jpg>Granary Building</a> is seen on Farquhar Street shortly before restoration. Built as a wood frame structure in 1858 by Toronto-based distiller Gooderham & Worts Limited, the granary was used for storing threshed grain prior to shipment over the Grand Trunk to Toronto. In 1914 the building was covered with bricks to extend the life of the structure, today holding the title of Guelph's oldest industrial building. Numerous industries used the site over the years, including locally-owned Saillian Rugs Limited, before it fell into disrepair during the 1980s-1990s. Restoration during the late 90s converted the structure into an office complex which today houses the Guelph Chamber of Commerce. This area once included Guelph's first railyard, which beginning circa 1900 included an interchange on Farquhar Street with the Guelph Radial Railway.
