Caption: Lots going on down at the roundhouse today: British steam engine London & South Western Railway 563 'Vicky' (built 1893) and coach "GE No.3" had been loaned for "The Railway Children" production, being hosted at the Toronto Railway Museum in a tent set up on the grounds. After the performance, L&SWR 563 and coach 3 were pulled out of the tent and are being put away inside the former CPR John Street Roundhouse by TRHA's CLC-Whitcomb switcher #1, under the command of volunteer Michael Guy. There were at least three other volunteers helping the move; one running the turntable while two others handled the coupling and uncoupling.
On the adjacent radial track is former CP Rail S2 7020 in its faded but flashy action red paint (since repainted into its earlier as-delivered black livery), a speeder, and the former TTR Pyle crane that had been donated to the museum (as one who frequently saw it puttering around the TTR and Union Station, it was nice to see it preserved).
