Comments on: Having originated as Pool Train No. 5 in Montreal this morning (departure from Central Station at 8:45 AM), and scheduled to arrive in Toronto at 4:35 PM, the La Salle slows for its station stop in Burlington. Scheduled to depart Toronto at 5:15 and Burlington at 5:55 PM–all going well–No. 5 should cross the border a little after 9:00 tonight and be in Chicago by 6:00 AM (Central Time) tomorrow. The GTW GP9s (4910 and 4913) took over the train at Toronto, probably having brought the International Limited in this morning.

Note that there are no sleepers in Ontario on this overnight train! According to the summer 1964 Public Timetable, this train carried Toronto-Chicago coaches, Toronto-Sarnia dining and parlor cars, and two 6-6-4 sleepers Detroit-Chicago (added at Durand, “Occupancy at Chicago until 7:00 a.m. CST”). A bus from Hamilton connected with the train at Dundas.

Wow, doesn’t look like the Brant Ave underpass even began construction. Very cool to see the ‘platform’ on both sides and the baggage carts.
