With a tired looking leader CN 2516, A435 makes the transition from the Halton Sub. to the Oakville Sub. at Burlington West. The SCD (snow clearing device) in the foreground hasn't seen much use this winter.

  1. The 2500s did not age well.

  2. Nice capture. Who knows how much longer it’ll be possible ?

    @First954 – Their paint sure has been looking tired for a while. But IMHO the unique look of the traditional 4-window Canadian cab on that GE long hood is a winner. :-)

  3. The snow blowers at these switches remain on for the season no matter if there is snow or not. I always thought it was a waste of propane every time I walked by the turnouts. I was told by the track forces that they leave them on even on sunny days with no snow. Makes no sense to me?

  4. @ngineered4u – I’ve often wondered why they don’t use some kind of technology to make them more responsive to actual conditions. The amount of wasted energy must be staggering. Railways have made incredible use of technology to increase their efficiency. Why not here ? It’s a read head scratcher…….
