CPR PASSENGER TRAINS ALONG THE GALT SUB - 1895 TO 1971

Following "Named Trains" and "train numbers only" are trains first using same right-of-way before the CPR GO Trains (1981- to current) began operating. The last CPR passenger RDC Dayliner ended 30 October 1971 and for almost exactly ten years NO passenger trains operated along the CPR Galt Sub until 25 Oct 1981 with the CPR-GO Ceremonial Train, and regular CPR-GO timetable operations 26 Oct 1981.
I am listing ONLY timetabled passenger trains Toronto Union to Guelph Jct/London/Windsor/Detroit where GO currently operates and the stations which the current GO trains now use [Kipling/Dixie/Cooksville/Erindale/Streetsville/Meadowvale/Lisgar/Milton] and are passing where once the CPR had same/simliar station locations (see below).
The Branch to Orangeville-Owen Sound, Teeswater, others towards London/Windsor are listed so one can see where the CPR trains originated and terminated.
Because of their rarity and uniqueness, I have included optimized scans of the first 1953 CPR RDC Dayliner PTTs.
At the bottom are NON-COMPREHENSIVE NOTES on locomotives used (steam, diesel, RDCs), timetable notes, and incidents/accidents on the Galt.
