The Tower View:

Of the circa 1908 Seguin River trestle, August 11, 1985 Kodachrome by S.Danko

The Thursday June 17, 1908 edition of the Parry Sound North Star reported:

“Although the hour was late, or rather early (at) 1:30 a. m. about five lucky people were on the platform Monday morning when the first CPR train over the new line from Toronto to Winnipeg pulled into the station at Parry Sound “

And we would call such “five lucky people” ….. rail fans.

The Image: a southbound mixed with two SD's 5911 & 5926 and a MLW C-424 #4232

and that water tower will be gone by the next summer..

Today most rail traffic here is northbound, CN handles southbounds.
