Comments on: CPR 360, the Budd cars from Windsor, move through the TTR interlocking, ducking beneath the Bathurst Street bridge as they approach Union Station. Note the switchtenders sitting in chairs near their shanty, waiting to line up the next movement. Scan and editing by Jacob Patterson.

I worked on CN on the yardman’s spareboard before quitting and going over to CP. If I recall, relief for those switchtender jobs was provided by the yardman’s spareboard. If you look beyond the chairs, you can see a “dugout” roof. These dugouts were placed at different spots through the terminals. They provided shelter from the elements. They were quite small so as not to foul the tracks on either side.

Note the CNR switcher to the left of Cabin D. Nice scene.

Lots to look at in this one.
