As the song goes, "Those were the days, my friend!" On October 24, 1965 the UCRS sponsored an excursion from Toronto to Barrie, with CN engines 6703 and 6773 (CPA-16-5 and FPA4). The outbound trip operated via Georgetown and up the Beeton sub, returning down the Newmarket sub.

    This is great to see :)
    Too bad the station didn’t survive to serve the South Simcoe
