Caption: Not the conventional Bathurst Street bridge shot: this one is of the bridge itself, looking east from Strachan Avenue in nearby Liberty Village.
VIA P42DC 907 backs its 4-car LRC consist from the TMC in Mimico to Union Station in downtown Toronto, ducking underneath Bathurst Street bridge after having just entered the Union Station Rail Corridor at the signalbridge sign marker to the left. GO trains are hiding in the wings: a few consists are lined up on the right, slowly making their way to Union Station to enter PM rush-hour service. At least one lingers in Bathurst North Yard beyond the bridge to the left, almost all cleared out of consists.
Once VIA #87 arrives at Union and finishes boarding, it will make its timely departure from Toronto at 5:40pm (5 minutes ahead of Georgetown-line GO train #211 running behind it), bound for such exotic places as Brampton, Guelph, London, and ultimately Sarnia. Unfortunately when we went to shoot it at Strachan Avenue crossing on the Weston Sub, the shadows had gotten much too long for any good light to be had.
