Original Toronto Star caption: Unionville goes on a toot; Canadian National's 1880s steam engine; with its steam whistle tooting away; was so popular Saturday at the annual Unionville festival that it had to make an extra run to take all the would-be passengers to Markham and back. Kennedy Rd. through the village was tied up too - by horse-drawn wagons; antique cars and bands.
