A general overview of Canadian Pacific's Guelph Junction is shown, looking west along the Galt Sub in August 1959. The tail-end of a westbound freight is shown, along with the westbound signals, water tower, and coal tower. The shop building is hidden in the background, and the station is out of view just to the right of the photo. The CP Goderich Sub to Hamilton (presently part of the Hamilton Sub) branches out at the bottom left, with the north portion of the Goderich Sub continuing to Guelph (the Guelph Junction Railway) and on to Goderich partially visible in the background on the right.

  1. Very nice capture of all the older structures.

  2. Every time I look at photos like this, I keep thinking those were better days. Except for dentistry, of course):o)

  3. Those days, you could sink your teeth into railroading…..pun intended and worth every Peso

  4. This how I remember the JCT when I started going there as a young lad with my father.
