Fascinating. I have a large, framed black and white print of this
triple header taken by Don Wood.
I had no idea it was of a special excursion.

I should mention, a LP record was put out on this trip called "Last
of the Tripleheaders." There are also one or two videos out which
covered some of the trip as well as other steam excursions.

I rode 136 from Lampton to John street before the very sombre gent
with the black homberg had me ejected. Ratz!
Anyway, this was THE best steam excursion ever. Three antiques,
fouron the active roster and polished up pulling 12 car, most of them
wooden, clelestory coaches, with 1,100+ souls aboard, out of Union
Station Toronto, to Orangeville & back. The first car was a 'Grove'
lightweight baggage with proper electrics for recording and the
7/28/06doors open all-the-way.
Oodles of cameras and microphones.
Surely some proof of that survived to remind us of the last
'Official',Canadian Pacific magic moment of the era.
