Caption: CNR H-6-c 4-6-0 1320, an MLW product of 1910, pauses at Wingham with Palmerston – Kincardine mixed train M331. If on time at 1315, the train should be about two thirds of the way through the three hour and five minute journey to the subdivision’s namesake town. Mail and express is exchanged from the RPO car to the baggage cart pulled up alongside it, while a conversation is had with the head end crew. The 1320 has about a year left before scrapping in late 1955, while the mixed train has about five years to go before cancellation upon end of the mail contract in June 1959. The 1905 GTR station still stands today, having housed various businesses over the years, it is now home to a youth centre for the community.
