Note: Galt Sub. freights were assigned P1's or P2's due to the heavier grade and were usually assisted westbound by a Lambton assigned G1 class 4-6-2 2200. Windsor Sub. freights were usually assigned G2's G3's and H1's due to lighter grade (almost flat). D-10's worked all the branches. 3422 London yard service. The Jubilee 4-4-4 worked the Bullet on Friday due to heavier traffic than the three RDC's regularly assigned.

A further note: D10's, P1's and P2's were the only class of engines referred to by their class. All others were referred to by their number series e.g. twenty four hundred etc. None were ever referred to by their wheel arrangement (4-6-2 etc.) nor by their type such as Mikado, Pacific, Royal Hudson etc.
