Caption: CP RS18u 1864 handles the "Stone Train" local, seen here posing by the Christie Brown mill at Mississauga Road in Streetsville during the late afternoon (possibly doing some switching work).
The Christie Brown (Nabisco) mill here was originally opened under Reid Milling in the 1830's, and is presently operated by Ardent Mills. Off the service track on the right, a switch can be seen for the spur to another mill in Streetsville, the ADM mill (originally Barber Brothers, later McCarthy Milling).

The stone train ran until the mid 2000′s and always seemed to have grain. Was the grain for Christie/Ardent? (That mill was Mondelez for period)
I definitely know that place well. Beautiful shot! I only got a few zMLW’s there before they vanished.
