Comments on: Holi-delays… Many are familiar with the massive VIA delays that occurred over the weekend before Christmas. Over a dozen VIA trains incurred delays above 3 hours on the CN Kingston sub and 5 trains were left out in the cold overnight. VIA 55, VIA 69, VIA 669, VIA 48, and VIA 54. VIA 55 was the train hit by a tree and VIA 69 and VIA 669 crawled into Cobourg overnight behind it. The decision was made to combine 69 & 669 there, making for an extremely rare westbound “J-Train”. After departing Oshawa, VIA 69/669 is on the home stretch to Toronto with 669 being 15 ½ hours late and VIA 69 nearly 17 hours late. I really feel for everyone involved with those trains, and figured the high vantage point would be nice to document the occurrence. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

I believe once cars are placed there, they are waiting for CN 517 (Belleville-Toronto) to take them back to Toronto. Theres some industries on a spur that’s hidden off in the distance.
