    Early container cars, how this has changed over the years. I love the big bonus in the photo, 5 brick chimneys. Doubleplusgood. :-)

    5 brick chimneys, that are no longer there. Along with almost everything in this pic.

    I wonder if this was a transfer from Parkdale to the container handling facility in the Toronto Portlands, or just a yard engine switching Parkdale Yard, that by then was turned into a container yard.
