Caption: A block of work cars are seen occupying siding XV50 along the CN Fergus Sub, paralleling Edinburgh Road in Guelph. These cars range from tool and storage cars to sleeping quarters, a crew diner, and various others. The bit of orange just visible at left is part of a Jackson Multiple Tamper (thanks Paul O'Shell) numbered CN 650-15. More equipment, including a ballast regulator, Burro crane 50418 and flatcars of crane attachments, and more sit out of frame, including a new ATCO portable mounted on a flatcar.
The track at lower right is the siding to Guelph Terminal Warehousing (XV32), now long removed. At upper left the original St. Joseph's Hospital can be seen. Opened in 1861, St. Joseph's Hospital on Westmount Road (originally Hospital Street) served the community until operations ceased about 2002, and the new St. Joseph's Health Centre opened on the property just to the north, as a long term care home. A brief history of the site can be found here.
