Caption: Out flying with a friend offered this aerial view of the Cooksville Brick Company's plant and quarry pit in Cooksville in 1953 (by then part of Toronto Township, the present-day Mississauga). CP's Galt Sub mainline runs along the north end of the property, and Dundas (Highway 5) runs along the bottom out of view. The area northwest of Cooksville where the plant was situated was still relatively rural. At one time, Cooksville Brick was once the largest manufacturer of bricks in Canada, and there was another pit located just to the west on the property (out of frame) near the corner of Mavis and Dundas.

Dump cars filled with excavated quarry material are visible on sidings between the plant buildings, and 40' boxcars with their doors open and loaded with brick sit on sidings just south of the Galt Sub. Quarry trackage can faintly be traced in the pit, but for a better view see: http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=25546. Even one of Cooksville Brick's little black 0-4-0T switchers can be faintly spotted (at the north end, just south of the Galt Sub).
