  1. This image certainly is a treat. Love it.

  2. Very nice

  3. It’s unusual to see the train order signal that far from the station building. I also like this image, the all red unit & blue coaches make for an unusual colour combination.

  4. That’s a VIA flag on the left… I have never seen one of those. I wonder if someone has that squirreled away somewhere.

  5. @Ron, 1950s images show the order board mounted on the roof of the station, but moved out by the 70s. That gap between the bridge railings at left and the main track was once occupied by track 1, removed in the early to mid 1960s. I wonder if the signal was moved at the time the platform was extended outward.
