Caption: An end view of Grand River Railway electric passenger car 864, sitting outside the GRR - LE&N Galt Main Street Station (not to be confused with the CPR's own Galt Station to the north). The Galt Main Street Station was mile zero for both the LE&N and the GRR. The photo is looking north, 864 is facing north on the southbound track, and the light angle would make this a late morning photo. The car is likely off a LE&N Train north from Port Dover, train #5 to Kitchener.
In the background is the McDougall Foundry, a long-gone casting firm. CN's Fergus sub is barely visible to the right of the photo.
