The weekend of October 23 & 24, 1965 saw the Upper Canada Railway Society run an excursion on each of the class one railways. The Saturday trip running on the Canadian Pacific behind CPR E8A 1802 departed Toronto Union station for Hamilton's TH&B Hunter Street station via the Oakville Sub, before heading up to Guelph Junction, Streetsville, and north to Orangeville before returning to Union Station. Here, the train snakes through the curves near the former station site of Christie, just east of the Kelso ski hill.

    All credit to John, I just scan. Great image, John! The CPR maroon complements the autumn colours nicely.
