Comments on: A pseudo time machine entry for Dan Dellunto’s photo posted today but it’s not the effort I’d like to put into it, only because I didn’t think of it when I was there yesterday and Dan posted it this morning. The main problem is you can’t exactly stand where Bob Wilt stood, due to fencing, and now due to all day GO trains, all main tracks have GO trains rolling by every 15 minutes. It’s live track and unsafe. So it’s not the exact same composition, but hey, I was there, and why not at least post it. Pictured L554 has a single empty sugar car in tow from Lantic (Mimico) with Engineer Michael Dacosta blowing horn for Chartell Ave. They’ll lift some loaded clay cars from the yard before heading west with no automotive traffic of any kind. What I enjoy about the scene comparison is that they not only used the same signal bridge when putting up the new signals, the masts also remain from the old Searchlights… I wonder why they were even bothered to be replaced though.

Nice, maybe I’ll see this car going to Lantic in Montreal during the next few days.

Bravo Stefan! Too bad CN GP9RM 7020 isn’t assigned Oakville…
