Comments on: How the landscape has changed! Here’s Cabin D looking rather lonely in the setting sun on a warm Aug evening. Now if I can only establish the time this picture was taken by my father… http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

CP5756 wouldn't that be the end of TTR territory, so the intermediate was a CN signal for the home signal in the background? Today the signal located where the cantilever is "end USRC" and there's still a home signal where that overpass is, but the signals were all replaced after 1981.

Does anyone know what the purpose of that intermediate cantilever signal is? All I know is that they replaced it with another cantilever, but with bi-directional triple head masts I’m definitely glad they simplified the track and signal layout by 1990, but it’s always intriguing to see photos from the west USRC from way back then.

Right the Queens Quay lead came off the main the East side of the Ex. It's documented on Google Earth 'Southern Ontario Railway map'. Great photo to 'spur' further conversations of history around Cabin D! @Ravensworth. Right the Queens Quay lead came off the main the East side of the Ex.

The freight tracks look so independent or separated compared to now, that's what got me wondering. Thanks for clarifying. @davebrook.
