    Great shot Bill! Brings back memories as I lived in Stratford, long after the days of steam and the tower existing on the street side. Awesome to see what once was…:)

    Brampton Sub?
    Did it extend from Stratford to Brampton?

    Grab an old timetable..

    Prior to 1964 some area subdivisions had different names. They re-organized after the Toronto diversion was created.
