Marty,
I'm quite familiar with Elsdon Yard, however the red brick building with the green roof in photo #2 is "before my time". Do you remember what this building was used for? I've seen it in a few other photos of yours.........

Sorry, I haven't the slightest idea of what it was. I came to take photos of power and moved on immediately. Who cared about buildings?

1964? Wow, didn't realize the wet noodle CN logo was that old.
