With stack capped and rods removed, CNR P-5-f, 0-8-0 switcher, 8360 (MLW, May 1929) is viewed bound for the scrappers torch (September 1961), presumably at London, in transit amongst numerous cars off the American roads including a wooden Great Northern boxcar, Chicago & North Western gondola, a Pennsy box, and reefers from the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe.  8360 had been based in the Ottawa area per a 1957 assignments list.  Moving through what would today be Exhibition GO station, the neighbourhood has been gentrified over the last few decades with Inglis being one of the casualties.Founded in 1859 by Thomas Mair, John Inglis, and Francis Evatt on July 27, 1859, John Inglis and Comapny began as a small machine shop under the name Mair, Inglis, and Evatt in Guelph producing milling machinery before moving to the Strachan Avenue location in Toronto in 1881 becoming John Inglis and Sons.  Renamed many times, it was last changed to Whirlpool Canada in 2001. The famous blue and white billboard overlooking the Gardiner Expressway would go up in 1975 with many messages displayed to motorists over the years, and would be dimmed and demolished during the last week of July, 2014.
