- When Steam Railways began to disappear in the USA, American railfans began to look to Canadian branch line operations to ride & take photos. Jim Van Brocklin took his movie camera & tape recorder & captured the sights & sounds of these trains before they retired. This tape complements RR004 which featured CPR trains. Canadian National Railways double headers & steam action at Bayview Junction., Port Dover, Guelph etc. will delight all.
Also shown are:
Barrie and Allandale station
Caledonia Station
Glanford
Port Rowan
Fergus Ave in Hamilton
Hamilton Station
Port Colborne
Dundas
Toronto Union Station and Yard
The Canadian Pacific's Canadian train
Angus
Bradford

I love all these trains running from village to villiage. Tracks everywhere. You were truly lucky to witness that. Thank you for all the stories.
I'm speechless....Thank you. I railroaded about 40 yrs too late
A lifetime of 16mm photography here. I go back to 1960s trackside photography as well, starting with 6167, then 6218 and 6060.
Great editing; this is a video for grownups!!
Like your stuff Massey, we've talked many times
Funny to see Ferguson Avenue now…nothing left..can hardly tell. I have a special place in my heart for the Hamilton and North western Railway. I was married on the surviving right of way, just south of Beaton, just north of Tottenham on the south Simcoe Railway. Thank you for sharing this video. Nice to see trains on the southern part of the line.
Great stuff this , I got to see the steam finale on the GTW in the Detroit area as a kid and this vid brings back great memories....
Just incredible.
What a way of life it must have been for all the crews of each engine. Guess you'd know the quirks of each engine .
Thank you for recording & narrating for us.

Wow. I feel honored to have watched this. I'm thinking about all the money you must have spent buying film to shoot all this. Film was not cheap in the 50ths. Then development also, yes quite an expense! Thanks injoyed watching.
Thank you!
thanks for posting, helped get me into the era. Love seeing the combos of the automobiles, people, and trains. Commentary was informative, too. Love these old steam engines and their shiny passenger cars.
Wow, thanks for posting, that is epic!
