Comments on: It’s setting into evening, and it’s almost time for the evening rush..aka, AMT 97 and CN 330. But to my surprise, a late Trillium would make the run through too. Luckily, the Seaway bridge was sky high in the air, or it would have had to wait for the Maple Leaf, making it even later.

Just a note on traffic routings since the 330/331 abolishment. The cars are not traveling on 434/435/509. Traffic out of the Niagara Region that used to ride 331 is going to Mac Yard on 422 to be humped. There it is finding an appropriate westbound connection to reduce handling at London East or Sarnia. Same with traffic that had ridden 330 to the Niagara region. It’s going to Mac Yard on various trains then riding 421 out of Mac. Trains 523 and 524 are supplementing this land barge 421/422 service as needed. This week there have been a few 523′s out of Mac Yard that have turned at Hamilton or Aldershot and lifted excess tonnage back to Mac Yard.

This was back in June of last year, so 330 was still running back then

330 and 331 dont run anymore, traffic is sent via 422 to Aldershot, then 435 takes it to London, then 509 takes it to Sarnia. Vice versa for eastbound traffic. 523/524 run too along the Oakville/Halton
