Concrete mileposts that date back to the Erie & Huron Railway, a "new" station name sign as this was the Wallaceburg siding (Bruce - was this a re-located name sign when the station ceased to exist?) and D724 passing it all - in reality, this was the only siding that was actually used to meet trains from time to time and as you can see it was still in use. Most often it was used to run-around, and I did see parked cars in the siding after the big freights stopped operating in '06, but in this era it seems to have been kept clear for operational flexibility. The "new" wallaceburg siding was about 6000 feet in length. Here's an audio recording with a clearance to Wallaceburg taking the siding at Wallaceburg. 

Here's something neat: I didn't realize the names "Subdivision No 1" and "Subdivision no 2" went as far back as the Pere Marquette. Check this out! Get a copy before this link is no longer valid folks.
