During a Toronto - Niagara Falls excursion, CNR 6060 and its train have just returned from the <a href=https://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=43502>wye at Yager,</a> and are seen backing down the platform at the falls. The empty land beyond the train once held <a href=https://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=49174>steam era service facilities and the coach yard,</a> no longer needed by this time. <br><br><i>Donald Coulman Photo, Jacob Patterson Collection slide.</i>

CPR MLW S3 6552 is seen spotting a car at the Guelph United Dairy Producer's Co-operative (officially Gay Lea by this time) just off the CPR Goderich Sub at mile 33. Originally constructed in 1949 (silos circa 1960), the Co-op was built on farmland owned by Guelph-born Operatic tenor, and later manager of the Metropolitan Opera of New York City, Edward Johnson (1878 - 1959), with the land having been sold in 1947 to the United Co-operative of Ontario. The Co-op would be renamed United Dairy and Poultry Co-operative in 1958, and later the United Dairy Producer's Co-operative in 1967. In 1972, the organization was renamed Gay Lea Foods, which still operates the site today. The towering feed mill silos would be demolished in the 1990s and a processing plant built in it's place. <br><br><i>Donald Coulman Photo, Jacob Patterson Collection Slide.</i>

Due into Guelph at 1905h, Monday through Friday commuter train 161 crosses "Allan's Bridge" on approach to Guelph station.

CPR MLW S11 6617 was assigned as the Guelph yard switcher during the summer of 1972, seen here on the Fibreglass Spur, just south of Alice Street alongside the engine house. Shortly, the crew will be onboard, and headed down to the Fiberglas Canada Inc. facility. Fibreglas Canada Inc. became Owens Corning Canada Inc. in September, 1989, and the facility is still <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=47246>served today by the GEXR.</a> The engine house was demolished in the late 1970s.<br><br><i>Donald Coulman Photo, Jacob Patterson Collection Slide.</i>

With its <a href=https://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=45078>photo stop alongside CNR 6167 complete,</a> CNR 6060 starts to pull down to Guelph's station for another brief stop. Todays trip was chartered by the Buffalo Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, running from Niagara Falls to Guelph via Lynden and Harrisburg Junction. GP9 4524 at right is the power for the Guelph yard job, tied down with its van in track XW41. <br><br>6060's travels were well documented on this trip: <br><a href=https://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=44599>Northbound through Harrisburg,</a> Bryce Lee <br><a href=https://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=42990>Approaching Guelph,</a> Bruce Lowe <br><a href=https://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=14342>CN Guelph Junction,</a> Bill Thomson <br><br><i>Donald Coulman Photo, Jacob Patterson Collection Slide.</i>
