Comments on: The Golden CrestCP Train 246 is riding the high-iron in style, with the first light of the day gilding the sky, and the rails, a deep golden hue. Cresting the grade at Guelph Junction, the crew of Train 246 will trade their royal rails for sunglasses as the railway makes a sharp turn south toward Hamilton and Buffalo. Like a roller coaster, the crew of 246 has two more grades to conquer before reaching Buffalo, Essar Stel loads on the head end will challenge downgrade at Waterdown, and the extra tonnage lifted at Hamilton will resist the upward climb to Vinemount, and the journey only half done at that point One can see why the TH&B decided to build along the Lakeshore (resulting in the granting of Joint Section Rights on the Oakville Subdivision which ended only 5 years ago) to avoid this roller coaster action, but as we now see, CP has made their choice and this is how they prefer it, pushers and all.
