About sdfourty
Best hobby in the world ! A photographer friend recommended the Nikon brand, bought my first used Nikon in 1976 and continue to use that Nikon body regularly. Best ever train ride: Extra 6060 west, a seven car train, Ottawa to Toronto via the (now lifted) Smiths Falls subdivision (mostly at 25 mph) then onto the Kingston sub, west of Napanee the engineer let 6060 really run: at 80+ mph 6060 sounded like the Turbo ! Then a brief stop at Port Hope demonstrated that the 'grape vine' really worked (who needs "social media" ! ) : the whole town showed up! sdfourty.

Rare mileage indeed !
<br>
<br>
Unusual VIA J train #64 and #42 rolls by at a sedate 40 mph and into the Rouge River Valley passing under the CPR Belleville Subdivision.
<br>
<br>
Forty five years into the VIA era and November 27, 2021 the first regularly schedule passenger trains on the CN York Subdivision....( granted from time to time an occasional emergency detour may have transpired).... two day all weekend detours due to major maintenance on the Rouge River bridge mile 316 Kingston Subdivision initiated by Metrolinx ( GO Transit) .
<br>
<br>
And from those who rode: Sean Marshall wrote in Canadian Passenger Rail group ISO November 27:
<br>
“ ... [#64] joined with Train 42 and separated at Oshawa Station. Trains 64/42 went up the Bala, with 42 leading – passengers with forward-facing seats sat backwards to Doncaster. [VIA] took the south to west connecting track, with Train 42 over Bayview Avenue. After a few minutes, we reversed direction with Train 64 leading. Apart from the 40 minute delay due to the detour, there were no incidents to note.... ”

and Doug Bardeau of London wrote (same source) November 27:

In the Rouge River valley lands at mile 6.5 CN York Subdivision, witnessed by Cobourg fans John & Ethan, Bob G, & Moi at 12:32 November 27, 2021 digital by S.Danko.
<br>
Noteworthy: from a photography viewpoint this is a challenging location, the overcast day allowed this mid day southeastward facing image.
