Hi David---M233 was a daily mixed (freight and passenger) train that started from the James St. station in Hamilton and headed south on Ferguson Ave.then up the escarpment connecting with the Hagersville sub-division through the towns of Caledonia,Hagersville,and Jarvis.At Jarvis the train headed east on the Cayuga Sub-division to the shores of Lake Erie at Port Dover.Along the route this train did a lot of switching at the towns so it was a full day job which ended back in Hamilton after a 12 hour shift.This train was affectionally called "the Port Dover Granny"
