Leaning out of the cupola window of CPR 436994, OSR 181 and 505 shove the van (caboose), baggage car CNR 60337, and 4 cars south from the switchback north of Woodlawn Road to the industrial spurs. The caboose and baggage car are owned by the Guelph Historical Railway Association (GHRA). To see a photo of the train at the start of the move at Chemtura where the caboose was stored, click here: http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=17271 The GHRA is currently restoring these two pieces of rolling stock, and we are looking for new members.

OSR had a unique load recently. Two transformers for Hydro One, unloaded at the Arkell siding. SW1200Rsu 1210 remained on site. After the second transformer was unloaded from one of the flatcars, I looked at the load clearance card, seeing Illinois Central Railroad printed on it. The ICRR became part of the CNR in 1998, making this card date back to a move over twenty years ago. The card does not appear to be filled out for some reason. *The reporting mark of the flatcar may be a digit off. I am not certain about the final number being 1, but it may have been.

580 rolls south on the Guelph North Spur, past the old XV3 switchstand, just before Alma Street on it's return trip to Kitchener. The train waited for 431, led by 3054 and 3393 to pass.

The end of CNR green and gold has come to the OSR as 6508 is stripped of it's paint. The unit will be receiving the OSR maroon and cream colours. The red colouring on the nose is likely from the CNR Noodle scheme,applied in the early 1960's.

VIA 6407 leads train 85 through Guelph at mile 49.79. The time is 12:10, and train Goderich Exeter Railway train 580 (switcher from Kitchener) and 582 (switcher from Preston) have both just departed the area, at about 12:02. This is a great place to get a train meet.

CPR 1057. The remains of a beautiful locomotive, sit silently at the South Simcoe Railway yard in Tottenham. Presumably a part source for 136, this engine was retired because the engineer thought it was not a good engine to run (according to my sources). RIP 1057.

GEXR 7369, 3054, and 3393 pull 5 buffer cars, a dimensional load from IST in Cambridge, and 11 more cars across Yorkshire Street in Guelph. This would be the last time I ever saw the 7369 before it recieves it's new number (3394) and paint.
