Comments on: Grand River Railway: Formerly the domain of steeple cab electrics until 1961 – CP’s Galt job is heading back from Toyota with about 30 autoracks around the curve at Preston. This section of the line was formerly the Hespeler Branch of the Grand River Railway and just the other side of this river you would have found the GRR shops until they burned down in the late 20th century. This scene has otherwise changed little over the years, but the future of the 100+ year old Dam (at the foot of the bridge) is up in the air. It just may occur that this scene will change as either this dam is replaced, repaired, or removed. Removal would require reconfiguration of the railway bridge – which is the reason six axle units are prohibited on the Waterloo sub north of mile 4.
