I wish I had the cash. I like wagons. Would love to have a 69 Beaumont wagon some day. Love to see a 69 Beaumont wagon some day. Maybe more out East, but nothing around Manitoba that I have ever seen.
Several things occur to me after wading through all those amazing photos. Sadly, those cars are fading away to iron oxide, all too quickly. Few appear to have been in accidents......most were just worn out.
I wonder why the owner didn't just have them picked up and crushed when scrap prices were so high last year. Soon, there will be nothing of any value left.
your not very far from those cars,just north of newtonville ,the yard is a nice walk on a good day.kinda like a park Minakers scrapped their cars just before scrap went up,got only $100 dollars a car this yard didnt,even when it was 500 ,he still makes good money on parts,and hes old,im sure when he dies they will all go.

And, damn but we're a messy species, aren't we.
We better enjoy them while we can. It won't be long before the enviro-terrorists put an end to these places. In some ways it's understandable. When scrap goes up again, which it will after China & India process all we sold them last year more of this stuff will be gone. I say pick'em apart while you can.
