Caption: A sunny summer evening finds an assortment of power from three builders at the west end of London's passenger station. At right is train 51, the Huron, from Toronto - Port Huron, Michigan via Kitchener, with a pair of EMD GP9s (4918/4950), while at left is train 41, the Erie, from Toronto - Windsor via Brantford, with a CLC CPA-16-5 (one of only six built), and an MLW RS18. These CLC units were built with a five axle wheel arrangement, as seen better inDave Burrough's photo.
The time would be approximately 1918h if everything is on schedule, with 51 arriving at 1905h, and 41 arriving at 1915h, both trains will share the station for five minutes, when 51 will depart at 1920h, with 41 following towards Komoka at 1925h.
203 Bathurst Street can be seen off to the right. Originally built as the Holeproof Hosiery Company in 1919, the company merged with the Julius Kayser Company in 1955, and was later sold to the Chester H. Roth Company in 1958, being renamed Kayser-Roth. The company closed the factory in 1989, but the building still exists today as City Centre Storage.
