Comments on: Rarely has CN intermodal train 149 (Halifax – Chicago) turned up when I’m watching the Bayview Jct area. It was a double surprise to catch it meeting its counterpart train 148 there on 2019 March 19 around 1:43PM. CN 148 has a GMD SD70M-2 in the lead, second unit is a standard-cab EMD SD60. CN 149 was powered by CN 8022 leading (SD70M-2) and GECX 9507 (C41-8W in UP colours, except for CN-painted A/C unit). Head ends of both trains crossed near the signals at the bridge over Hwy 403. Tail ends of both trains crossed near the spot where front of 148 is.

I just know from people who saw it further west down the line, and was confirmed later by those who’d know.

And agreed, a rare treat to see two stack trains meeting on the Dundas, regardless of which two.

Is the way that you guys find out the train number available to me ?
I submitted request to substitute new caption and correct Train symbol on March 21.

Thanks for that correction, the only intermodal I see regularly is 148 … didn’t hear anything on the scanner, so 149 was just a guess. Still a lucky catch meet.
