Caption: CPR MLW S3 6552 is seen spotting a car at the Guelph United Dairy Producer's Co-operative (officially Gay Lea by this time) just off the CPR Goderich Sub at mile 33. Originally constructed in 1949 (silos circa 1960), the Co-op was built on farmland owned by Guelph-born Operatic tenor, and later manager of the Metropolitan Opera of New York City, Edward Johnson (1878 - 1959), with the land having been sold in 1947 to the United Co-operative of Ontario. The Co-op would be renamed United Dairy and Poultry Co-operative in 1958, and later the United Dairy Producer's Co-operative in 1967. In 1972, the organization was renamed Gay Lea Foods, which still operates the site today. The towering feed mill silos would be demolished in the 1990s and a processing plant built in it's place.
