Oh, OK, so it was the CNPR that ran up Lochside. Three railways all on the Peninsula, crazy!

Photo is taken from the West looking East.
Intersection of Quadra and Finlayson just below the reservoir. You can see Quadra Elementary School West of the reservoir at that intersection.
The road on the left of the image appears to be Tolmie Ave, and you can see "Reed St" between Tolmie and Finlayson.
EDIT, yes, that's the Smith's Hill reservoir.

I did not know the V & S rail was way out there. Somehow I just assumed it came in the Lochside Trail and used the CN track to the harbour. Or maybe it did, and had a second spur? Becasue the trail/rail now does come that route from Lochside north of Quadra/McKenzie, then across Quadra behind the Winery.

Anybody know the route?

Too bad that group of homes got wiped out for Staples...

Actually, a 5-year-old Centra Gas building got wiped out for Staples. Was the newest-ever building I've seen demolished.

Wow check out that amazing house just to the right and down of Cridge in the image that got replaced by some apartments where at least one member on here resides.

I see my house! This is a shot of what was then one of the very first "suburban" housing projects in BC. I always forget the name but sure that Holden could remind me.

And the apartment block near the Cridge at 2716 Cook that is just being built.
And just up the hill to the left can be seen Spencer Castle.
Just on the left edge of the photo can be seen the old Normal School and clock tower, Now Camosun.
