Caption: A pair of MLW RS18s, built in 1957, power extra 8739 west upgrade at Campbellville passing the stub track for Crawford Lumber and Fuel, seen at right, and the CPR freight shed, on the west side of Regional Road 1/Guelph Line. Date is approximate.

Originally built in 1889 as the Lewis Brother's Brick Works, the property would be purchased by Murray Crawford in 1900, who converted it into a sawmill, later expanding into fuels. Much of the original mill burnt down in 1957, leaving just the coal sheds and office and warehouse buildings. Today, these structures remain, though the loading dock seen above is gone. The coal shed is now a furniture shop, Fine Oak Things, the office serves as Longhaul Logistics, a freight service, and the warehouse building is a Thai restaurant. There is also a former CNR caboose 78337 on the property.

Lead unit 8739 would not see the rebuild program in the 1980s, having suffered a wreck at Bath, New Brunswick when hitting a washout about 0300h on April 1, 1976. One crew member killed. Parts were salvaged from the locomotive, however due to the difficulty of removing it, the loco was simply buried. Trailing unit 8741 would be rebuilt in August 1984 to RS18u 1821 and retired from the CP in the mid 1990s. 1821 would be sold to the New Brunswick East Coast in April 1998, sold to CN with the NBEC/OCRR purchase in 2008, and sold again in 2009 to Le Massif de Charlevoix 1821.
