Crowds gather on the platforms at CPR's West Toronto station for the arrival of Ontario Rail's ex-CPR D10 1057. The excursion to Orangeville on this overcast Saturday was to mark the 100th anniversary of Brampton's incorporation as a town (village, 1853; town, 1873; city, 1974.)

    Thanks for this one. I’m in the crowd somewhere.

    You are welcome Eric. Ontario Rail Foundation decided it was better to have the boarding point at CPR West Toronto Station for its first excursion to Orangeville, so most of the people on the platform are about to board the train, which started out from John St coach yard (not Union Station). The picture shows Extra 1057 arriving prior to boarding. It had been many years since West Toronto Station saw such a large crowd preparing to board a train,
