Railpictures.ca - A.W. Mooney Photo: Many fans would be hard pressed to identify this location considering the way it looks today. The gathering place of train nuts is now minus the station as well as the extreme left track; and has a yard area for the Guelph Jct Rwy behind where the station is.(This image was taken before GO ever made the scene here) CP 8157, TH&B 51 and CP van 434021 has just come up from Hamilton, destination unknown. This is the only time all the years I have stopped by the Junction that I have seen any TH&B power there. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

At the time of this photo, I would assume this was Goderich bound. The Guelph Jct roadswitcher local job rarely went to Aberdeen and always had just one unit. The Goderich pickup was based in Aberdeen. The time of day is odd for the Goderich job, as it still ran out of Aberdeen at 2330, six nights a week. That said, sometimes in winter, the times got screwed up account weather & power issues. Perhaps the TH&B unit was an emergency stand in unit. The Goderich often had 2 SW1200RS units.

The GHRA Has a sign that looks very similar, if not the same as the one in this picture.
