Caption: Budd cars from train 632 (now under an unknown deadhead number) is seen departing Stouffville for Spadina near the end of August, 1982. In the coming days trains 631/632 will make their final runs on Friday, September 3, 1982, with GO Transit assuming operations the following Tuesday, September 7.

According to a 1981 CN ETT, evening northbound revenue train 632 turned into equipment move 633 for the trip back to Toronto (and in the morning, equipment move 630 to Stouffville turned into revenue train 631 for the trip into Toronto).
Also, does anyone know where the nearest Knob Hill Farms was in Stouffville? They did have a number of Toronto area locations back in the day, many converted from old industrial buildings (their Golden Mile, Weston, and Lansdowne locations come to mind).
A real historic gem of a shot
Love it!
I think the nearest Knob Hill Farms to Stouffville would have been in Pickering. This is a great shot. Sleepy branchline action in the GTA.
