Comments on: Toronto-Sudbury portion of the ‘Canadian’ behind CP 4066 makes its way north past the community of Midhurst on a pleasant June day. This unit was rather common around this 1976 time frame.

I walked across that bridge in 1965 after midnight and a 4-12 shift as relieving operator at Midhurst Station. I remember it was very dark but a good shortcut to my boarding house on Hwu. 26.

Yes, I believe that is the one. Its been a long time since I have been there, so could be wrong.

Is this the bridge north of Midhurst station between hwy. 26 and hwy 27?

What a difference in train length these days. Of course, the VIA Canadian is only twice a week this summer. But in the first week of June the train is about 20 cars long. There are two coaches, eight or nine Manor sleepers, two Prestige sleepers, two diners, three Skyline cars and a Park car.

The Canadian was a very short train in the off-peak season for several years before it was turned over to VIA. It was usually the middle of June before the train acquired more than one sleeper and a Park car on the Toronto section.

Thanks for sharing this. You would need a drone to do this shot now as everything has grown in.
