    We boarded the southbound Canadian at Alliston a year or so before this photo was taken. There was an agent at the time. As #12 got later and darkness fell, the agent replaced the flag with two lanterns: one green and one white. I had never experienced that personally before.

    I’m wondering if Art Merrifield was the agent at the time. Nice guy.
    Love pictures like this.
