James Adeney captured the same freight west of Milton:

Interesting to note in this shot that the train is running against the current of traffic. Welded rail and the CTC signal system to support the soon to be introduced Milton GO service were being installed at this time. The later shot of this frieght by A. Mooney west of Milton, shows it running with the current of traffic.
One trip I was working as conducor, and I had 38 train orders on my clearnace out of Toronto Yard west to London. Usual was about 5. These could be augmented by temporary operator posted at Dixie in the section shack..and orders hooped up at Streetsville.
It was common to recive orders at the prior two locations, instructing us to cross over to the other track, using the manual switches, at some spot on the double track, to get around track and signal work being done.
A subsequent check of my 1980 time book indicates that I worked this same train west out of London to Windsor. It is train 903.
