Rail delivery of mining machinery

Black and white photograph of large pieces of mining machinery on a railway car. Two men stand in front of the railway car. In the foreground are pieces of metal, large wagons and wheels.

Title: T&NO and mine machinery, ca. 1910

Collection of Andrew Surry

Railcars at the Swastika station have hoists and boilers aboard. Until another branch of the T&NO was built to take these large pieces of mining machinery to Kirkland Lake, they would be unloaded at the Swastika station and hauled by wagon to their destination.
