Getting ready to go |

A Soo Bandit gets ready to bring a Transfer out of Saint Paul Yard as a top end job pulls a cut of cars. Bandits are getting rarer by the year, so seeing this one lead in 2011 was a treat. |

How Shoreham used to be |

This how Shoreham used to be, full of engines! Shortly after this picture was taken, the CP transfered all Shoreham operations to the St.Paul yards. When that happened, that ended over 100 years of railroad work at Shoreham Yard. Photo is a low res photo scan. |
