Comments on: Sweet sweet 4 axle wide cab power.. With 3,780 ft on the drawbar, CN 554 pulls out onto T2 from Oakville Yard and will eventually crossover to T3 at Kerr St to service Suncor.

Now, now Mike–that’s just a “baby” train… today’s 554 left Oakville Yard with 109 cars and, after working Bronte, arrived Aldershot with 132 cars, over 6900 tons and 10,700 feet! (Same two units; normally not that large.)

Kevin, yes 554 runs daily–generally leaves around 1300 hours and can easily be shot from the Chartwell crossing.

Mike, very nice picture, but where was it taken from, the new Metrolinx/GO operations building ? Is T3 the south track ? And nice to see CN freight on the Oakville Sub.

Nice angle Mike. How common are trains on this part of the Oakville Sub? Daily?
