CP RAIL SYSTEM 5498 is a former SD45, one of seven SD45’s rebuilt to SD40M-2’s by MORRISON/KNUDSEN in 1995. CP SD40 5500 was finally moved to Revelstoke, BC, arriving on May 13th. 2007. It is still painted in faded CP RAIL action red (no multi-mark), but the museum is expected to repaint her into the “as delivered” CPR tuscan red and grey “script” livery. In the meantime, the SD40 will be stored inside beside 5468 and car #4. CP is having a sale of SD40-2’s with bids completed on May 9th: The locomotives include: SOO 781, 786, CP 5419, 5566, 5579, 5605, 5652, 5667, 5669, 5699, 5752, 5758, 5768, and 5821.

  • NUMBER 452 JUNE 1987 the First TTC ALRV, 4200, Is Put Through Its Paces at the UTDC Test Track Near Kingston, Ont., May 20, 1987
    INCORPORATED 1952 NUMBER 452 JUNE 1987 The first TTC ALRV, 4200, is put through its paces at the UTDC test track near Kingston, Ont., May 20, 1987. The car has been equipped with a bow collector temporarily but will sport a regular trolley pole in Toronto operation. The ALRV lacks its number and TTC crest, but already has a roll sign, turned up for 501 Queen, one of the routes on which it will operate. The boxes on the roof are for the ventilators and the brake resistors. Notable differences between this car and demonstrator 4900 include redesigned trucks, two sets of chopper controls, and standard foot controls instead of hand control. The first of the TTC's 52 ALRVs is expected to reach Toronto this summer, --Photo courtesy Ray Corley Two of the locomotives that helped the ONR to complete its dieselizatlon program were FP7A 1510 outshopped by DDGM in June, 1952, and GP9 1600, which left the London shop floor in July, 1956. The 1600 lacks the dynamic bralces so often associated with Geeps, but does have the less- familiar roof-mounted air reservoir tanks, as well as a steam generator for passenger service (note the stack in front of the bell). At the time that these photos were taken the units were still resplendent in the road's 1950s vintage dark green and yellow paint scheme, with red trim and, on the 1600, red numbers. ^^^^ nhntnQ JUNE 1987 3 (Editor's Note: The following article appeared in the Hamilton SPECTATOR on May 2, 1987, six » days before the official corporate windup of the Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway.

Plusieurs enjeux entrent en ligne de compte et influencent les décisions prises en ce qui concerne le destin de gares de train abandonnées. Cette étude tente d‘éclairer l‘impact de certains de ces enjeux dont : le ou les nouveaux usages qui seront octroyés à la gare dans sa nouvelle «vie », l‘architecture de la gare elle-même et la façon dont elle sera traitée ou modifiée, l‘espace de la gare ainsi que sa transformation et finalement l‘appropriation de cet espace par le citoyen. L‘approche qualitative est l‘approche méthodologique choisie. La recherche combine la méthodologie d‘analyse de contenu et l‘étude de cas. Le cas de la gare de Westmount est examiné en comparaison avec le cas de la gare d‘Orsay transformée en Musée d‘Orsay.
