  1. Very nice Mr Mooney. A couple of CNR cars on display right there now and the SS Keewatin to (almost) make up for a missing lovely station if you’ve been back.

  2. Thanks. I heard about the SS Keewatin and do want to see it.

  3. Great work. I went to see the Keewatin last summer, It’s well worth it, very in depth and interesting tour, plus they have awesome T-Shirts in the gift shop, and of course, plenty of pictures of trains!

  4. That’s a smaller station than I had imagined since at one point it was an important tranfer point between train and ship. What is that – a’65 Ford Galaxy?

  5. 800 and climbing. Well done Arnold. Keep them coming.

  6. Thanks for sharing this. I moved to this area a few years too late to see the operations around Midland and Port.McNioll.

  7. Thank you for sharing Mr. Mooney, again had no idea of the rail service going to this particular part of the area.

  8. @ Paul Snyder Information here: http://www.trainweb.org/oldtimetrains/CPR_Trenton/Port/History_gbs.htm

    And Gerhard Wetzyl wrote a couple of articles for Canadian Rail, one directly about the CP Port McNicholl switcher that I can’t find at the moment. But some mention here: http://www.exporail.org/can_rail/Canadian%20Rail_no409_1989.pdf

  9. @BradKetchen thank you for all the info!

  10. There was a small “summer station” at Port McNicoll located at the docks. Passengers had a short walk from the ships to and from the ‘boat train’ to Toronto.
