In October of 2011, at Roundhouse Park, formerly the John Street yards, Toronto, a team member took these photos of London and South Western Railway T3 4-4-0 #563 which was shipped to Canada from Britain in April of 2011 to prepare for an Autumn show “The Railway Children”. #563 was built in 1893 at Nine Elms in London and ran until 1945.

A big "Shout Out" from the Palmerston Railway Heritage Museum, Minto, Ontario to Canadian farmers on Canada's Agriculture Day, February 13, 2018. The amazing things happening in farming are being showcased and a closer connection with consumers is being created. https://www.agriculturemorethanever.ca/cdn-ag-day/

A photo from page 10 of the "Canadian National Magazine" Vol. XXV, No. 7 entitled "Their Majesties 'On Line' " and published in July 1939 following the tour by rail in Canada of the King and Queen (May/June 1939). (In Winnipeg some minor painting is occurring on Locomotive 6047 before she hauled the Royal Train across the Prairie Provinces.)

Can any of our followers provide insight into which railway company would have owned this passenger car #3604 and where and approximately when this photo might have been taken?

Photo from the "Observer" January 11, 1962, pg 5. Howard Locking was plowing the sidewalks on King Street. On pg 12 of the same newspaper is a reference to a Council decision at its first meeting of 1962. "Mr. Howard Locking was hired to plow the town's sidewalks at an hourly rate of $3.00 with one horse. If the plowing required a team of horses, the hourly rate would be $5.00."

A photo of an artifact in the Museum: the original desk used by telegraphers when Palmerston was a working station.

A special artifact in the Museum, a velocipede, generously donated by Mr. Carl K. Bales of Lucknow, Ontario on October 2, 1999

We believe that this is part of a box into which Conductor Crowley would have placed his personal property as he traveled on the railway years ago. Any insight into this by our F.B. followers?

A railway fan has notified us about a production "The Ties That Bind" which is a wonderful piece of railroad heritage, funded in large part by the Government of Canada with additional contributions by Love This River Corporation. See: http://www.lovethisriver.com/thetiesthatbind/ The production was made possible by numerous individuals and The Township of Schreiber, the Schreiber Public Library Digital Collection, the Schreiber Railway Museum, the Thunder Bay Public Library, and Library and Archives Canada.

Their Royal Majesties, 1939. Cover of "Toronto Star Weekly" June 30, 1939. Note the autographs of the couple for the Toronto Black Watch Association.

Attached is a photo of the cover of the C.N. Magazine published in July 1939. Would our followers, who as children witnessed the King and Queen on tour by rail in Canada in May and June of 1939, share their stories, and photos (if any)? In the Spring of 1939, both the C.N.R. and C.P.R. co-operated in taking the Royal Couple on various routes throughout the country. The C.N. used their famous 6400's and we believe that C.P. used similar engines to the C.N.'s Hudson's.

RAILWAY NEWS TRAVELS FAR AND FAST: A Museum team member has provided the attachment -- another reference, this time in the "Guam News" published on that Western Pacific island on November 20, 1949, to the news item "Lost False Teeth".
