    In 1960 the Mavis Road area was considered Cooksville – but that is a minor quibble about a wonderful picture. Bravo Bill!
    I lived on Dundas Highway near Erindale Station Road at that time.
    I don’t recall my Dad taking me to the crossing to see the steam train. I’m sure I would have remembered a triple header like that.

    136 and 1057 survived. Did 815 survive or get the torch?

    Apparently this was the last trip for 815 due to boiler issues, she ended up being retired and scrapped: http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=17055
