Comments on: Rolling eastbound into Agincourt Yard, Extra B&O 4487 (class lights lit) approaches the north platform at Agincourt station with a short cut of autoracks. Taken in mid-late February, the lease of B&O F units began only just before this on February 10, 1972. More information on the leae of B&O F units can be found here.

The train order signal was applicable to Havelock Sub trains. I believe that said trains were required to obtain those orders from the Toronto yard Operator, and such orders would only be issued for an issue unforeseen when the train departed Union Station.They didn’t issue slow orders etc. on the radio at that time.

I always love seeing old F units on freight service, these locomotives look great regardless of what they are pulling!

The signal here is interesting… looks to be for eastbound movements only. A similar shot of the main Agincourt station to the south side has a similar signal for westbound movements. Would these have been train order use or flag stop signals for passengers?
