1907-12-07	Fire At Dalkeith. Keeps the G.T.R. Hands Busy on Railroad Property. Fire originating from an unknown cause destroyed the pumphouse, engine room and water tank of the Grand Trunk Railway company on Saturday afternoon. The building was a wooden structure and the flames made such rapid progress that nothing could be done to save the property. A quantity of coal and oil was in the engine room and only added to the intensity of the heat. A crowd of employees, mostly section men and residents of the village, gathered around, but the flames raged so fiercely that it was impossible to get near the building. It is estimated that the damage will be about $1,100. Also repeated in the Eastern Ontario Review of 13 December 1907.	Ottawa Citizen 1907-12-09(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...)
