This was the familiar insignia found on the side of steam

As many as 1800 people worked in the Locomotive shops in
Stratford at one time. |

The following are pictures of some of the men who worked in
the locomotive back shops over the years. They came to Stratford to work
from all parts of the world. Most of the men's families still live in
Stratford. |
