and a SW8 for Oshawa Yard.
7089 working the Pulldown. Looking south. Markham Road at left, overpass
in background over Belleville Sub.
8921 westbound on the Havelock Sub. leaving Toronto Yard with the Transfer
passing Agincourt station in background.
Note the train order board indicating proceed, no orders for westbound
but set at stop for eastbound. Only Havelock Subdivision passenger trains
were governed by this order board. The transfer went down the Don to
Parkdale on nights and days then on to West Toronto. Afternoon transfer
ran across the North Toronto Sub. to Lambton Yard only in order to avoid
the very busy freight traffic operations on 3-11 shift at Parkdale.

4028-4037 (10 A units) 4424-4437 (14 units)
Note the five covered hopper cars behind the engines.
In this era they were a tiny portion of the freight car fleet and used
for only a few commodities primarily cement. Now, covered hoppers are
used in great numbers for many commodities especially grain and plastic
pellets.

8594 RS-10s (MLW #81530 8/1956) in new CP Rail Action
Red paint scheme leads RS-3 8458 (MLW 81045 11/1954)
and FA-1 4016 a unit with a history. Built 4/50 as 4014 FA-1 traded-in
3/66 to MLW on C-424 4249. 4014 was re-acquired and using major components
of recently fire-damaged 8557 it was out-shopped by Angus 3/1966 long
after "covered wagons" stopped being built it replaced an
earlier unit with the same number built 8/1950, wrecked 8/1957 and rebuilt
11/1957 as RS-10s 8824. That is likely the conductor or tail-end trainman
waiting to perform a pull-by inspection of
his train. Note the radio on the ground. Note the unique signal at far
right. This is the Entrance Yard Track Indicators.
