Comments on: CP Rail GP38-2 3046 splits the signals at Hornby with the Roadrailer train, #529, running on the south track to run around the GO trains using the north track.

this location is where the Expressway trains start now, and the road crossing approximately where the photographer is standing is no an overpass.
This is the early incarnation of Roadrailer with the “adapter car” and what looks like mostly if not all trailers with single axle attached versus the later version on separate “bogies” or trucks. The former had amazing air braking capability, but when the train changed to bogies ..they were a lot harder to slow down likely due to the truck mounted airbrakes.

I took it for granted. When I finally pulled out a camera it was still running on CP, but not for long. Never did see it there.

Another of those long gone trains that we almost took for granted. Nice clean image!
