    Thanks for sharing this. Photos of CP in Midland are scarce. Both units are sporting extra flags.

    The grain elevator history of Midland and it’s importance is very interesting.

    Unreal how much activity there was there even in the late 20′th century.

    It was a busy place with 5 elevators in the Midland area including a huge one at Port McNicoll.
    CN handled 3 and CP handled the other two on a shared line from Medonte on CP and Orillia on CN
