Comments on: An end view of Grand River Railway car 842 sitting at the GRR – LE&N Galt Main Street station (Mile zero for both GRR and LE&N), during a stopover on a fantrip. Fantrip members can be seen getting their photos of the car from the station platform. The Galt Main Street Station was mile zero for both the LE&N and the GRR. The rails on the far right are the CN Fergus Sub, with a boxcar visible spotted in the Newlands factory building. Photo taken by Cecil Hommerding, from the collection (Copyright) of Doug Leffler. Substantial caption information provided by George Roth et al with much thanks.

Great photo of a bygone operation! find it interesting the parallel of the fellow on the station platform and today – It almost seems he’s checking his digital camera, when in fact he’s probably checking his light meter.
