Railpictures.ca - Gord Taylor photo, Dan Dell'Unto coll. Photo: On their first fantrip together since the famed Tripleheader on May 1st 1960, ex-Canadian Pacific steam engines 136 and 1057 (lettered “Credit Valley Railway” by their owner Ontario Rail Association) operate on an ORA fantrip, stopped for a photo stop east of Fraxa Junction on the Owen Sound Sub. The former CPR 1057 had been returned to steam through efforts at John Street roundhouse in the early 70′s, and 136 was fresh off being loaned for filming of “The National Dream” video series, and still sports much of its “old fashioned” makeover including lettering font style and placement (it would be redone in 1975). A switch can be seen for a hydro siding, as the train is stopped adjacent to the HEPC (Ontario Hydro) Orangeville Transformer station just northwest of the town of Orangeville.

A switch stand can be seen by 1057 for a hydro siding, as the train is stopped adjacent to the HEPC (Ontario Hydro) Orangeville Transformer station just northwest of the town of Orangeville.

At the time the former CPR D10 1057 had been returned to steam through efforts at John Street roundhouse in the early 70's. 136 was fresh off being loaned for filming of "The National Dream" video series, and still sports much of its "old fashioned" makeover including lettering font style and placement (it would be redone with CVR lettering in 1975).
