Comments on: It is getting late on a mild evening and the sun is setting. For once I get sunshine but end up shooting in shadows. This scene is between Bayview Jct (behind me) and Hamilton Jct ( the curve) and dinner-hour CN Budd Cars and GO train passing. Cab car number is 9853. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh? Wed, 13 May 2026 21:22:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Stephen C.

Even better is the fact the budds and the GO cab car match so nicely.... It's a great photo :) Nice work. Still plenty of time to do it again :) Yesterday morning it happened again, two eastbounds were racing each other out of Bayview. Someone on the Bayview bridge may have got it yesterday.

I wish I had been able to get more images like this......... Thanks, Marcus and Todd: Back in the day it was just another shot of “the usual” except 5 Budds was more than the 3 I would see most days.

Cab cars on the west end. Occasionally you will see power on both ends. From the look of the GO unit in the photo, it looks like a GP40TC. GO trains are powered from the east end.

Wish I could have experienced seeing the Budd in original road colours. By the time I started taking interest in them...they were painted for VIA. Great photo Arnold!

They claimed that it was to reduce complaints around Mimico - but considering that they switched back, there must have some other considerations that were more important than squawking homeowners.

Still more impressed by 5 Budds together. You mean the power on the west end? Still more impressed by 5 Budds together.
