I don't know if they still whistle there now but the need is less than it once was. Stephen, there used to be lights only at the Blenheim Rd crossing, but now there are gates too.

In that case, the unit also ran solo, but out of Toronto to Hamilton (via Guelph Jct acct London crew) and then (still solo) to London with an "Aberdeen Turn" train that would have normally been returning to London instead of Toronto. Perhaps there was a crew surplus in Toronto and/or no power at Quebec Street to run it. There’s a photo of 1804 in the reg Button “trackside” book.

An entirely new subdivision is already half way built. It won't be long until the right side is also filled in.
