Caption: The typical weekday for the CP Guelph local’s crew was to switch the small yard and the nearby lumber yard at Guelph Jct. during the morning. This occurred after all the weekly morning GO Transit sets departed eastbound for Toronto. After its work at Guelph Jct. was completed the job would depart westbound on the Galt Subdivision to Puslinch to service the transload that was situated beside the siding and mainline. At the time, this track (G90), was quite active with several different companies depending on it for rail service. They included; GE Phillips Forwarding, Central Ontario Transfer, Orica Canada and the Upper Canada Stone Company. Following its work here, the crew would return to Guelph Jct. where they would complete any additional switching prior to departing for Guelph if required with usually a small train.
Here during a frigid sunny winter day, CP GP7u 1501 is pictured working the transload track which was quite full at the time.
