Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Big move: A 96-tonne railcar; built in 1906; was hauled from Washago to the Greystone Equestrian Club last week. The car was carried by truck from Washago but had to be lifted off the flat bed at every corner by a crane and then placed back on the truck after it had made the turn. The 85-kilometre (53 mile) trip took three hours. The car has four bedrooms and two washrooms.
