Caption: CP GP35 5007 prowls the weedy Saugeen Junction with two Maine Central boxcars and a 434000-series van in tow, coming off the Owen Sound Sub onto the Walkerton Sub for the trip westward. The short train had come north from Streetsville Junction, and was enroute to Durham where the two MEC boxcars would be spotted at the ramp track in the yard, and another empty MEC boxcar would be lifted for the trip south. Dwindling branchline traffic would very soon doom the Walkerton Sub to abandonment in 1983-84, and the Owen Sound Sub to abandonment in 1995.

The track in the foreground is the wye track, spanning the north end between the Owen Sound and Walkerton Sub mainlines. Track diagrams note a few short storage tracks present off the Walkerton Sub inside the wye (probably disused by then, and hidden by the weed growth). What appears to be an old farmhouse or shed in the background still exists in present times.
