Caboose: GEXR 582 trundles north on the former CN Fergus Sub (Ends 1/3 mile north of photo) with a Caboose - GEXR 79568 bringing up the rear. Until 1970 this line hosted Passenger trains (ending as RDC's) and from 1970 to 1975 or so 80 car bunker C oil trains (Pix anyone?) ran up this line to Palmerston and Douglas Point. The line north of Fergus was abandoned by 1982 and Guelph to Fergus in 1988. This section survives as GEXR's connection to the OSR and the joint industrial track served by both GEXR and OSR.
