Owned by the Guelph Historical Railway Association, the tattered Ex CN 8990 Baggage car and now CN 60337 tool car which was built in 1950, sits on the siding just before Elmira Rd in Guelph. Behind it sits a very nice caboose with "Please don't vandalize our equipment. Our members will be very sad" posters in the windows, and an invitation to all interested rail fans to join the group.

  1. Baggage car is rusting but it’s still in excellent condition – dry inside. Needs a coat of paint. Interior needs to be gutted – lots of steelwork added for MOW service. Plan is to turn this into a museum.

    Caboose is in great shape but the signs are to deter local vandals. Since the signs have gone up, we’ve had no issues with the vandals.

    For more information on the group, see http://www.ghra.ca and join us, always looking for new members, meeting second Monday of every month, 7:30 PM, 130 Cooperators Building, downtown Guelph (Ring the buzzer to get in) where business is discussed following which slideshow and/or video(s) or historical artefacts are dicussed/shown are the usual happenings.

    We Hope to have a more permanent location next Spring/summer set up, the location of the equipment right now is temporary.

  2. That caboose is one smoooooth ride when it’s going slow. But when it’s going about 10mph or over, it fells like an earthquake. :D

  3. …feels like an earthquake.
