Hard to believe that pretty much my entire life that is what Ross street looked like and Centre street was just a dead end at the top of the hill there on the left. Now it's an unfinished retirement home and Center street is now level with Ross and connects to it. I was only 2 years old in 1987 lol but I have fond memories of seeing trains cross that very bridge and walking and goin under it in the car and yes of course over top of it as well. Sadly they even took the one out that went across First Ave as well I often wonder what they plan on doing there if they will add a road going into what has now become the new cop shop and the arena? Wow have the times changed that's for sure!
Hey, I run an Instagram page where I post historical Ontario transportation footage. Could I have your permission to post some of your videos on my page? I will be sure to give full credit.
Wow! Thanks for sharing this, Larry. Seeing those Chessie engines was a great surprise for us. Well done!

Wow, Burty Bobs and the YMCA
Any videos of the old HWY 4 crossing west of St Thomas?
Larry, what was the boarded up building used for?
That was where the Yard Crew reported for duty and ate there lunch etc.
I was wondering if you happen to have more footage of London, Komoka, Mt. Brydges and HWY 4 west of St Thomas from the 1980s?
Sorry.... Don't have any.
Amazing Footage! Is the bridge gone too?
Yes...... removed filled in and replaced by a level crossing that allows rail access to the Caso station and Elgin County Railway museum.
@@fzttwd Wow. That's insane!
i would gear down under that bridge with my motocycle........so loud and i thought i was cool.........16 years old...
