While VIA Rail service to Havelock ended in January 1990, passenger trains would once again call the station for one day in 1992. As part of the Havelock centennial celebrations, GO Transit equipment was used to operate three excursions between Havelock and Peterborough. GO F59 550 provided the power for the three car train, with cab car 235 bringing up the rear. CP Rail CEO, Bill Stinson, who passed in May 2026, was also in attendance, travelling with business cars "Assiniboine," "Mount Royal," and "Lacombe." RDC-2 91 was also on hand for the event, as noted in the <a href=https://www.bytownrailwaysociety.ca/phocadownload/branchline/1992/1992-10.pdf#page=19>October 1992 issue of Branchline.</a> <br><br><a href=https://whiteriverdivision.blogspot.com/2018/10/throwback-thursday-go-equipment-in.html>In July 1997,</a> GO equipment would make another visit to Havelock as part of the "Rock 'n Rail" festival, celebrating the mining history of the area. GO 531 and three cars operated excursions from Havelock to Nephton under the name of the "Huckleberry Express," as noted in the <a href=https://www.bytownrailwaysociety.ca/phocadownload/branchline/1997/1997-09.pdf#page=23>September 1997 issue of Branchline.</a> <br><br><i>Keith Hansen Photo, Jacob Patterson Collection.

With multiple movements over the Lake Erie Spur today, and a handful of meets, a switch tender spent the day riding the two trains to line up movements at Whites and Port Stanley. Once L1's train is in the clear, switchman Flynn will swing aboard 14 to line L1 into the siding at Port before their arrival.
