There is nothing like a good mystery. You are right that the ICR (by then Canadian Government Railways) must have rebuilt at Willow Park since the railway cut didn't open to traffic until 1919 and the permanent station wasn't opened 1928. I would guess the Fairview shops would have come sometime after that. I don't have the answer to when Willow Park yard would have opened that but it is instructive that North Street Station opened in 1877. It may be logical to assume, as the railway expanded away from its original terminal at the base of Duffus Street, that new shops and freight yards might follow soon after.
