    The signal here is interesting… looks to be for eastbound movements only. A similar shot of the main Agincourt station to the south side has a similar signal for westbound movements. Would these have been train order use or flag stop signals for passengers?

    I always love seeing old F units on freight service, these locomotives look great regardless of what they are pulling!

    The train order signal was applicable to Havelock Sub trains. I believe that said trains were required to obtain those orders from the Toronto yard Operator, and such orders would only be issued for an issue unforeseen when the train departed Union Station.They didn’t issue slow orders etc. on the radio at that time.
