    On Sunday May 19, 1963, CNR 6167 pulled an excursion sponsored by the Buffalo and Rochester Chapters of the National Railway Historical Society from Fort Erie to Paris and Return. Dave Spiegelman tells me that 6167 was removed in Brantford. Doug Wells has provided me with a flyer for this trip.

Leaving Hamilton via the Oakville and Dundas Subdivisions, the train will proceed up Dundas Hill and on to Brantford, Paris and Paris Junction. At Paris Jct., the special will be turned on the wye for the return trip via Brantford and on the Dunnville Sub., through Caledonia, Dunnville and Ridgeway to Ft. Erie.
