Caption: Easing back into the siding at Mitchell, 581 makes a lift and setoff under the watchful eye of a track foreman. A brief chat, an exchange of coffees, and 581 will be off to Goderich in a few minutes.

Nestled beneath the nearby trees, a concrete staircase sits abandoned. Once used by CNR passengers to access the station platform, a revenue passenger has not been seen since the last RDC run in October 1970, with the station gone soon after.
