Comments on: V70 with VIA 909 leading and VIA 913 pushing with a Clear Signal at Tansley, in the distance V97 “Amtrak Maple Leaf” waits on the east side. Planned work on the Metrolinx portion of the Oakville Sub. has VIA trains detouring the back way utilizing the freight only portion of the Halton Sub. as part of their routing.

Jacob, I was hoping V97 would be first and V70 would be the one waiting. It appeared only the south track was available between Tansley and Burlington West so V97 had a bit of a wait on the east side.

John, V97 is opposing traffic waiting on the east side of Tansley.

Nice shot, Terry. Managed to shoot this up at Stewarttown.

John, 70 and 75 have been running 8 cars sets for about three months now. Nice to shoot longer consists down this end of the corridor.

No. 70 has quite the consist, looks like 8 LRC cars. Should be no problem with CN’s minimum axle requirement for passenger trains approaching level crossings. Interesting that the New York bound Maple Leaf is right behind. Thanks for sharing, John
