A birds eye view as the Guelph Historical Railway Association's former CPR 436994 is getting a lift from Ontario Southland Railway. The spur, for Chemtura- formerly Uniroyal was used by the GHRA since 1998 and today was the last move out of this spur, as Chemtura is moving to new digs and so is the Caboose. Restoraiton of the Caboose has come a long way and you can see the mennonite milled Tongue and Groove which was re-installed fairly recently. A few more finishing touches to go in 2015 by the groups loyal membership will finish the job - to get involved see the club website for more details. Thanks to OSR for their great service and also to the Guelph Junction Railway for permission for the movement.

  1. Note: Window frames and sills (with drip edge to CPR blueprint spec) were replaced in the cupola in 2014 and the current paint has faded – final coat of paint to be done in 2015 with application of CP Decals to finalize and pretty ‘er up.

  2. Any idea where they took the van?

  3. Yep – send me a contact request (click contact beside my name) if interested in its location.
