  1. I did not know there used to be a siding in the middle of Bolton and Palgrave, when was it taken out?

  2. A great capture.

  3. Very nice John, looks like a fresh script repaint too!

  4. What a perfect photo John. Early in my CP career I worked assignments at Woodstock quite often. On the roadswitchers that were mostly yard engines we had S-3s 6589 or 6590.The one that wasn’t working the yard was used on the Woodstock to Tillsonburg night job & day Tillsonburg/Port Burwell job. When either of those units went in for sevice, the most common replacements were either 6616 or 6617. Both were “road equipped” which only meant a multi trumpet horn & a pilot between the footboards. These low horsepower switchers were mostly replaced by SW1200RS units or the odd RS-23, by the late 1970s.
