Good photo of something that is very interesting to a classic era fan. I'm very glad so much was saved and on display here. It is a fine show with a genuine roundhouse, coal dock and two excellent locomotives. I can only hope the locos go inside soon and escape the Canadian winter. :-(

Dennis, winter ain't coming until December, maybe even January, and it generally doesn't stay all that long when it does get here! Heck, we only had about 2 weeks of it this past one. No need for them to go inside soon, where do you think we are here, Wisconsin?? 6213 has lived outdoors all her life, one more teeny winter won't faze her much! Btw, great shot Rich! Makes SkyDome and condo hell the ones that seem out of place in time, not the other way around.

Dennis, in fact they have quite a bit of connected track and the locomotives are all moved around for display purposes. They have a dedicated switching engine, yet I believe some of their equipment is possible to be made running again. The facility is landlocked however.

I realize that it's a little late to be commenting on this picture but after paying a visit to this location while in Toronto, I felt compelled to.
First of all, great job with hiding the fence! I didn't even realize it was there until I visited it in person. And it should also be noted that even though this railroad park is landlocked, the nearest active railroad track is maybe 500 meters away (although, you would have to cross some awkward terrain and a busy intersection to get to it).
