The thunderous passing of CNR U-2-g 6200 must've been quite an experience for the boy on his bike as Saturday only train 111 departs Brampton for London.  At left cars can be seen spotted at a few trackside industries which have long since been cleared for the GO Transit parking lot.  In the distance the steeple of Grace United Church at Main Street North and Church Street West can be seen.  CNR 6200 resides today at the National Museum of Science & Technology in Ottawa, and recently underwent cosmetic restoration.Original Photographer Unknown, Al Chione Duplicate, Jacob Patterson Collection Slide.

  1. There’s some neat stuff here: the backtrack siding the express reefer is on went to a freight shed in front of the station in the present-day parking lot. Also, Brampton Lumber (visible on the left, note the wood) occupied the northwest part of the parking lot at Church & Mill.
