Comments on: The famous CPR triple header steam excursion is shown approaching Orangeville yard on its trip north, with the roundhouse, coaling tower and other railway facilities visible in the distance. The special train operated from Toronto to Orangeville and back on May 1st 1960, powered by ancient 4-4-0 136, and 4-6-0 D10′s 815 and 1057. Two of the engines that day (136 and 1057) went on to become steam excursion stars in the following decades, and survive today on the South Simcoe Railway. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
