The order board is on yellow and the hoop has just been caught as agent George Borchuk delivers a message to extra 4039 east on Feb. 23, 1966. The Belleville Sub. has been CTC since 1960, so I'm guessing that train orders are not being used here, but it's a message important enough to put the train order signal on and issue a 'nil' clearance.

    A fabulous scene with the old highway 2 bridge in the background and the spur to the freight house behind the truck. The freight house still stands, but every thing else is gone.

    Very nice, a classic scene.
