Comments on: CP 2-8-2 5187 and a 5400 series Mikado pause at Guelph Junction with an Extra West in the fall of 1959 (unfortunately, I only have the slide processing date, not the exact date of the photo). Normal practice was for helper engines to continue as far as Orr’s Lake…Diesel railroading just isn’t the same! (Special thanks once again to Dan Dell’Unto for his assistance in editing this shot.) http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

To the right of the house is a big house that at one time was a hotel of some kind so what I am told.
