GRR #222 is on the storage track on the south side of the Preston car barn . The date is likely August 1961. On the left is the red brick office of the Lake Erie and Northern- Grand River Railway, both subsidiaries of the CPR. Also behind the office is the Dover flour mill. Both of these buildings are still existing on King St. on Preston (Cambridge). Shortly after this picture was taken, the overhead wire was removed, and the line was run with three CP SW 1200's.

GRR #224 parked in front of the second door of the four track Preston car barn., July 1, 1957. The engine was built by Baldwin in 1906, and sold to the Iowa Terminal Rwy (#62) in 1963. The engine facility in Preston was built in 1906 to replace one destroyed by fire. The GRR did all its maintenance and rebuilds in this shop until abandoned by the CPR parent in the 1980's. It burned and was razed several years later.
