Heading home on the train, I noticed a stopped set of Union Pearson Xpress DMU's. I knew these were testing on the lakeshore routes but never would actively seek them out on the main. This time, however, I said "why not?" and hopped off at Danforth to see them pull for a practice stop.

I have word the UPX equipment is set to begin service June 6th.

Looking rather forlorn, almost like it is in a dead line, this C630 is indeed live and well (for the time being - there are still 6 to 10 years left in the old beasts). It waits between jobs in the small yard in "downtown" Dartmouth.

CP 9732 and 8849 lead their long heavy train at a safe speed downgrade on the Hamilton sub, as they approach the CTC section. The first steel coil cars are on the bridge over Highway 403. There is a big "S" curve here, with more of the train visible through the trees, above the CN Dundas Sub signal to the right. <br><br>
From observation and my scanner, it is apparent that operating trains this long and heavy on the Hamilton sub has some operational complications. Speeds must be kept low to maintain control downhill, while helpers are needed to get some of the longest heaviest trains up to the top of the Niagara escarpment. The requirement not to block grade crossings near Kinnear yard too long can be an issue. <br><br>
For CP trains, and the TH&B before, the preferred route between Hamilton and Toronto used to be over the CN Oakville sub, using the Canpa Connection in Etobicoke. This route is significantly shorter and faster, and avoids ascending and descending the Niagara escarpment. Presumably more GO train traffic and CN usage charges and restrictions have seriously discouraged the routing of CP trains via the CN Oakville sub in the years since the TH&B's long term arrangement expired.

Nice spring day at Bayview Junction watching trains......CN 6790 westbound about to start up the hill to London, with unidentified B unit in VIA paint trailing. Note the old helper track from steam days is still intact on the left.

Enemy Territory: A Dofasco locomotive in Stelco territory? Yes, it happened! Known to be bitter rivals in the Steel Industry in Hamilton, probably unheard of to see a Stelco Locomotive in Dofasco or vice versa. After some kind of incident crushed the cab of 416, it was sent to nearby Railcare for work. After being lifted from <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=40853 target=_blank>Dofasco Bayfront (The last such move that I am aware of from here to date)</a> the crew had to go into Stelco to lift a gaggle of loaded coil cars, light power. Leading the movement is Dofasco 416 well inside the Unionized Stelco facility. After lifting Stelco, the crew then ran light power into Railcare to deposit the locomotive. A wise choice of moves that made this photograph possible.

Eastbound, sitting just outside North Battleford on the Aberdeen sub is Dash 8-40C CN 2103 (ex UP) There was no sign of a crew and the loco seemed to be auto-idling. One thing for sure nothing else is travelling this route until they get it on its way, or at least move it up into the yard.

Arriving in Stratford Yard with a decent amount of tonnage is 568 led by a favourable no GMTX 4 pack of geeps 3 being GP9Rm’s as the conductor exits the unit to prepare for the set out. The units are relaxing now after an aggressive trip from Kitchener in the high notches trying to bring the train up to track speed and make good time. I believe the slow order (10mph I think) over hwy 7/8 in New Hamburg was still in place as well. The track that cuts out to the right I believe was part of the Drumbo Sub lead which went down to Paris, a line that was relatively straight down to the south east.
