Comments on: The GO station at Mount Pleasant (control point here is named Norval) offers a bit of a different view even with a bit of clutter thrown in. CN train 570 lately has been a good source for catching soon to be stored Dash-8′s. Last week it ran with a full trio of them. Today one of the older GEVO’s is up front as the power digs into the slight grade leaving Halton Hills behind them. The two trailing Dash-8′s have been assigned to this train for a few weeks now.

Why are the Dash-8′s being stored? Nice catch with the BCOL unit btw.

@Kevin. 570 has been around forever. It was kind of my regular job for awhile. CN uses it for varied assignments. It usually ran to Oshawa, but I have run to Belleville, London, Aldershot and Ft. Erie under the 570 assignment.

Never heard of 570…also note the string of open hopper cars. Nice catch!
