Canadian Railroads > Signal Sunday

A gloomy afternoon, February 1971.  Extra West C&O 3573 near E&O on the NYC / PC double track CASO (Canada Southern) in southern Ontario, Canada. Seen in the image is the eastward signal governing the "railway crossing at grade" of the TH&B Rly  Dunville subdivision. If I recall the other signal to the right of the mast would indicate to receive train orders at E&O. There was a tower at E&O, manned by a NYC employee Monday to Friday 11am to 7pm to line the route for the TH&B trains at the diamond. All ancient history now, the tracks are gone, the tower gone and never see a train here again. 
The moment in time was caught with my trusty Kodak Instamatic camera some 54 years ago....
