    Some trivia…the actual spelling is ‘Bucke’ named after early London psychiatric pioneer Dr. Henry Bucke, who was a friend of Walt Whitman. The diamond is located just east of “Asylum Road” crossing. Bucke ran the large hospital “The Asylum” in the latter 1800s, the name was later changed to London Psychiatric Hospital.

    There’s something intriguing in this photo. While it was a regular occurrence back then for the yard engine to retrieve new GMD locos for furtherance on CP freight trains, what is a steel car doing behind the locos? Did it come from GMD, or was there some other reason for it being in the consist? The only cars typically handled on this move were empty paper boxcars from the nearby factory.
