Love this pic. So much has changed since it was taken!
What a great view of Hamilton yard!
Stuart Street yard that is!
Oh my! This is nice
In the timetable, the CTC location was Hamilton Yard. The James Street station was Hamilton and had its own operator. However, on the radio, crews would call the “Stuart Street yard master”. There was also a “mobile yard master” who supervised crews in “the Hole (N&NW spur)” and industrial areas.
And don’t forget that Hamilton Yard TMD coordinated main track train movements from the “North Yard” switch to N&NW Jct; the YA Dispatcher controlled Hamilton Jct to Burlington and YO controlled the Oakville sub east of there. London NI dispatcher dispatched the Grimsby sub to Niagara Falls; West of Hamilton West on the Dundas sub was dispatched by London K; finally, the Hagersville sub was also dispatched from London. Got that? (Good thing they wrote train orders down!)
Maybe someone can do a “time machine” shot of this pic.
Easy. I will caution anyone doing it – get it *exact*
Amazing how well kept the yard and area was back then.
