No date, location or photographer was listed for this photo but Bruce Gemmel located the photo info. It was taken by Rob Sandusky on October 13, 1952. Ian Wilson noted that #1397 has just left the moving its mixed train to the station to board express and passengers for Beeton on the infamous Alliston Subdivision, "20 mph forward, 20 mph side up and down." Thanks, Bruce, for all your help. It is appreciated! |
