    Ah yes, the 279. Wish these Oshawa-originating auto trains still ran, they normally had something good for power!

    Yep, I can’t remember why it was an E279 on this day. It ran in the same slot as the usual E275 but I think E279 was the Sunday combo train or something when the morning E271 didn’t run.

    You are right Tim – it also signified a different time slot – usually a bit later in the day too.

    You could almost set your watch to these auto trains (271/5).
