VIA 6441
Title:  VIA 6441
Description:  VIA 'Canadian' passes under the brand new signal rack at CN Quaker, entering the home stretch enroute to Toronto Union Station. No Rocky Mountains here. What used to be an ‘off-the-beaten-track” CN rail siding has transformed into the site of GO Transit’s new, massive, and not-yet-finished layover facility in anticipation of GO’s Richmond Hill northward expansion. A new passenger station coming soon to nearby Gormley, just south of here, will be the last stop on the daily commuter runs. I’m standing on the first chunk of track that will take trains into the new GO yard where they will spend evenings and weekends.

CN 2293
Title:  CN 2293
Description:  Totally ignoring the lights, bells, train horn and descending barrier gates, two snowmobilers just don't get it. The train is doing about 40 MPH. The trailing snowmobiler actually got hung up when the 2nd gate came down, and had to manoeuver around the barrier.

CN 2293
Title:  CN 2293
Description:  After watching the snowmobilers dart in front of this train, I was able to drive ahead and get another shot after it slowed and waited for a northbound freighter to take the siding at Zephyr.

CP 2266
Title:  CP 2266
Description:  I was expecting a little more train after picking up this unit on my scanner leaving Agincourt Yard. So I dashed off to this spot where the old CP Havelock sub now borders the expanding residential area. Short train. Great catch of the day is this sparkling ECO unit.

Title:  CP 4657
Description:  Two locomotives head east on the lightly used CP Havelock Subdivision. What used to be a track the middle-of-nowhere, is now being encroached on both sides by residential and commercial development.
