Original Toronto Star caption: It's the Aurora choo-choo: It's like a scene from a Jesse James movie; but this is the real thing. This 1853 photograph shows the Lady Elgin; the first locomotive to run in Upper Canada. The wood-burning loco made its first run may 16; 1853; from Toronto to Machell's Corners (now Aurora).
