Comments on: The heady days of a full consist ( locomotive, baggage, coach, sleeper) are gone but for a short time yet, the Toronto-Buffalo service is being handled by a pair of RDC. These were rotated out of the small contingent assigned to CP John Street into the mid 1970s. So you could pretty much count on the same pair hanging around together for weeks on end. Especially present was the full baggage 9200. Oakville and Burlington were ‘flag stops’ for this train, so YC desk would always route them onto the South track just beyond Brant Street. There are no passengers boarding today but 3 of the crew are interested in my position on the platform as they drift past. In a few hours they’ll arrive Buffalo Central Terminal, layover a short time and then make their way back to Toronto Union station. In the years ahead these iconic creature-comfort cars will be replaced by Amfleet coaches and F40PH, running not on the TH&B mainline, but CN’s Grimsby Subdivision. ETTS.
