Original Toronto Star caption: U.S.-bound? These two steam locomotives - representing the pre-diesel era in Ontario - sit in all their splendor on a spur line behind a Ontario Liquor Control Board store on Queen's Quay. They'll remain there-or be sold to U.S. buyers-if the Ontario Rail Foundation doesn't get the money for its own railway on 32 kilometres (20 miles) of track between Collingwood and Meaford.
