In my collection, a slide from Bruce Mercer. IREX 5 looking pretty clean and capped stack at TH&B Aberdeen yard. I'm not sure but think this unit was out bound on a CPR "Aberdeen Turn" or "Hamilton Turn" and would go up the Goderich Sub to Guelph Junction and perhaps the IREX unit would be setout there for furtherance to Toronto. Perhaps Bruce can add some details.

    That info is correct, Ray.
