Comments on: VIA Rail train 663 behind leased CN Tempo RS18m 3153 makes its stop at Guelph on a warm summer day. The Tempo units only had about a year left in service before retirement in 1983. At right is CN 7242, power for the Guelph yard job.Richard M. Panek Photo, Jacob Patterson Collection Slide.

@Ron, 1950s images show the order board mounted on the roof of the station, but moved out by the 70s. That gap between the bridge railings at left and the main track was once occupied by track 1, removed in the early to mid 1960s. I wonder if the signal was moved at the time the platform was extended outward.

That’s a VIA flag on the left… I have never seen one of those. I wonder if someone has that squirreled away somewhere.

It’s unusual to see the train order signal that far from the station building. I also like this image, the all red unit & blue coaches make for an unusual colour combination.
