With a plume of smoke billowing above, CNR 6167 approaches the Humber River on its way west out of Toronto during an Upper Canada Railway Society excursion to St. Thomas.<br><br>Originating at Toronto Union Station, the excursion ran to Hamilton where a pair of MLW RS3s; 3004, 3019, were added ahead of 6167 to assist the train up the Hagersville Subdivision to Caledonia, even though the 800 ton consist came in well under the 1,400 ton haulage capacity for Northerns up the grade. The diesels would be removed at Caledonia, the tender replenished with water, and the excursion would depart for Jarvis with a couple of runpasts along the way at Caledonia and Garnet, captured <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=47268>here by Bob Sandusky.</a> Further runpasts would be held along the Cayuga west of Jarvis before arriving at St. Thomas <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=44906> where Doug Page captured the train </a> before it turned for home.<br><br><a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=51044>Westbound over the bridge at New Sarum,</a> Photographer Unknown.

The weekend of October 13-14, 1962 provided railfans in the Montreal area with two excursions out of Central Station behind two steam locomotives. The Saturday trip would be led by J-4-d Pacific 5107, and the Sunday trip double headed with 5107 and U-2-c 6153. These trips run by the Canadian Railroad Historical Association were supported by the Upper Canada Railway Society.<br><br>CNR 5107 is seen sitting to the north of CN's Richmond station during a water stop while en route from Montreal - Sherbrooke. The six car train had departed Central station track 9 that morning at 0829h making a water stop at St. Hyacinthe and three photo runpasts. One more runpast would be held between Richmond and Sherbrooke before turning the train for the return to Montreal, stopping for three more runpasts and water on the way. Back in Montreal, 5107 would be cut off at Bridge Street, leaving the consist in the care of MLW S4 8062 for the last couple of miles into Central Station. Today the Sherbrooke sub is operated by the St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad, and CNR 5107 is on display in Kapuskasing. Bill Thomson caught <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=15145>5107 at Mimico</a> in the summer of 1958.<br><br>Directly across from the station on Rue Principale Nord (Main Street North) sits the Hotel Brunswick. Built circa 1910, the hotel served many travelers over many decades. Like the former station, now a restaurant, the building serves a new purpose today, as the Résidence Brunswick, a retirement home. Michael Berry's <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=19228>2015 shot across the Richmond yard</a> gives viewers the station at centre with the Brunswick off to the left.<br><br>Scanning and editing by Jacob Patterson.

CNR 4-8-4 6167, running light as extra 6167 to Leaside CNR (ex-Canadian Northern) yard for public display as part of Town of Leaside 50th anniversary celebrations (incorporated April 23, 1913, population 47), and will be departing over the CNR Leaside Branch; former Canadian Northern connecting line to CPR Trenton Subdivision (today CP Rail Belleville Sub) and CP trestle over Eglinton Ave East and Don River West Branch valley into the CNR Leaside yard.<br><br>At right, CNR MLW road switchers 3040 and an unknown high nose unit lead a southbound (timetable eastbound) scheduled freight train from South Parry to Toronto Mimico Yard, still the major yard for Toronto as MacMillan yard in Vaughan was still under construction, opening two years later in 1965. Oriole Station is still an active train order station with agents on duty, and the first passing siding here being the first one north of <a href= http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=48665>Rosedale siding in the Don Valley (underneath the Prince Edward Viaduct).</a> Installation of CTC on the Bala Subdivision is well underway but not yet activated. Oriole Station is long gone as is the connecting track to CPR Belleville Sub (much of connecting track right-of-way now a paved bicycle/jogging/walking path), but Oriole siding (now owned by GO Transit/ Metrolinx is very much in use today, CTC controlled by GO Transit Operations in Oakville. MLW RS3 3040 was the last in a 23 unit order (3018 – 3040, class MR-16b) from MLW in 1954, and would be retired during the late 1960s.
<br><br>A view <a href= http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=47201> looking south at Oriole today.</a> Note the dwarf signal, switch, and a few hundred feet of the former Leaside Branch are still present.
