“OS Don” is the story of author John F. Mellow’s early years working for the Canadian Pacific Railway in southern Ontario, giving readers a 1960s front row seat as the Canadian railway industry transitioned from traditional Morse-code telegraphy and train-orders to the present age of computer-assisted operations.
Mellow’s career as a train-order operator began at Toronto’s Don station in 1963. Before recalling his own experiences there and elsewhere on the CPR, he presents the history of Don station and its role in the operations of steam and diesel era CPR and CNR trains through Toronto’s scenic Don Valley.
A hardcover book measuring 8-1/2” x 11”, it has 128 pages with more than 160 colour and black and white photographs, as well as maps, steam locomotive assignments and a glossary.

The US President's Executive Order 14324 "Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries" came into effect on July 30, 2025. This Executive Order would require an increase to the US purchase price of our publications to cover the 35% tariff and the elimination of the exemption from duty for goods valued at less than $800. As a result, the Society is temporarily suspending the sale of publications to our US customers. We will continue to monitor the US tariff situation and adjust our publication sales offering for our US customers accordingly.
