CP 437136 waits out the weekend in front of the Peterborough station. Ex CPR 4-6-0 1057 was to arrive later on an excursion but was short turned at Dranoel due to a running gear issue. The station lost it's canopy a few years later. The schedule board for Dayliner service probably went at the same time. The caboose was preserved in White River. Some details in this photo, 437136 is sporting a backup whistle. The silver post in front of the canopy was the "circuit end" sign for the crossing of George Street. Behind the caboose is Rehill Building Supply which still had a siding and coal pile. Photo probably taken by my Mother with editing assistance by the RP folk.

Former CP 4-4-0 136 gets flagged across George Street on a dreary warm March day. 136 and a train of two cars with people in period clothing were being filmed by a CHCH tv crew for a Christmas special by the Dofasco choir.

[Editors note: accepted for rarity] CN 4568 won't be going anywhere for a while. The rear end of the tank car and front of the second box car are on the ground on top of the switch to the CP interchange tracks. The signal protecting the diamond crossing is just visible to the right of the train. The train is on Bethune Street just south of Dalhousie Street. Behind the train was a vacant lot where a former turntable pit outlined in timbers was still visible. It's now a parking lot. There is a building still standing on Wolfe Street that has an angled wall from the former lead to the turntable. Photo by my brother with some editing assistance. I'm the kid cluttering up the photo under the street light.

CN GP-9 4514 is returning from a trip up the Lakefield spur to retrieve a gondola car from Lakefield Research. It will soon be on the street running on Bethune Street. There are a couple of unusual things in this shot. While GP-9's were common, geeps with snow shields were not common in Peterborough. The relatively new transfer caboose showed up for a week and was not seen again. Photo from my collection, taken by my brother out the car window.

A nicely matched pair of SD-40-2's lead grain empties north approaching milepost 67. Apart from the plated over classification lights and relocated horns not much has changed from when these units were built in the 80's.

One of the Credit Valley Explorer coaches has been repainted in a black and grey CN style scheme. It was a nice flashback as I realized I had not seen a car in this paint in 35 years. Add some steam on the platform and it would have been perfect.

If I had kept my F250 I might have been able to bring this unit home. <br><br> GO 651 has a long rope attached to an adapter in it's coupler for a world record attempt of 12 women pulling a locomotive. Behind the engine, one of the teams is doing a photo op.

X (and a rock) marks the Spot. New signals are on the way for the BCRY crossings of Huronia Road in Barrie. This long serving wood post with it's nailed on aluminum numbers will soon be a thing of the past. In the background the tracks get a little spring maintenance.

The Canadian General Electric Plant switcher was parked in the open adjacent Wolfe Street. The 50 ton switcher was built in 1956. It's a youngster compared to some of the antique flatcars on this site.

The Huntsville roadswitcher passes through Bracebridge during a squall. I was up to my knees in snow after taking one step too many on a snowbank.

A southbound intermodal train flys through Midhurst. Gone are the days when trains would stop to do work here. the south siding switch was removed about a year ago and only OCS movements occcur now. Behind the locomotives on the east side of the mainline was a wye that originally served a large ballast pit. the wye and was used as an occasional team track and was removed around 2000. The Barrie-Collingwood Railway gets the local traffic now.

One of TTC's new articulated streetcars heads south at track speed strapped down to TTIX 156393. 50 foot flat cars were used to allow for the overhang beyond the deck.

For the return of GO service to Barrie in December of 2007, a demonsration run was held on the Sunday before the start of regular service. Barrie received 6 inches of snow overnight and it did not stop until mid afternoon.
