Smoking it up, GEXR 518 is passing a former Grain Elevator near downtown Kitchener - surprisingly the facility is now a bakery. Behind the elevator was the former CPR owned Grand River Railway which shared the Huron Park Spur as joint track from just behind me to South Junction from 1961 to 1994 after which the GRR north of here was abandoned. The ex CNR spur is all that remains in downtown Kitchener.
