Comments on: CN L562 led by CN ES44DC #2235 heads towards Trillium’s Feeder Yard along the CP Hamilton Subdivision. This section is famous for its recognizable trench section which was dug out to go under the Welland Canal.

562 does not go on the tube spur. Cars are dropped and picked up from Southern yard. Trillium takes them to welded tube from there using 340.

Btw, is this the same train that goes on the Humberstone/Tube spur. From CN Oakvile sub and CP Galt/North Toronto experince..ie understanding the simplicity of the track layout compared to Niagara/Welland it’s hard for me to figure out. Comparing Google maps, the Southern Ontario Google Earth project and Openrailway map it’s a tough one! And why such a space between the two tracks in the photo? I love shots like this where I can conduct my research! And small trains with two six axel units is intrguing Thanks!

Very nice – great sun and any power on a 562 is a blessing.

With all that creosoted wood played out, it won’t be long before a tie renewal crew will be disturbing the ballast on one or both of those tracks.
