Comments on: In Victoria, trackage continued past mileage 0.0 at the depot onto Store Street to reach a number of industrial customers, with Swift’s meat packing plant frequently a priority for the yard crew to switch with high-value loads. On Saturday 1975-07-12, that was the case for MLW S-3 CP 6572 heading out of the spur at Swift Street to Store Street and onward to the Albion Yard distribution area. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
