GO Transit cab car 232 trails "The Bramalea Flip", the weekday afternoon Brampton to Toronto (Bramalea Station to Union Station) GO train, passing through the community of Weston, in Toronto Ontario. The train with F59PH 522 in the lead is approaching Weston Station for its stop around ~10:30am, with downtown a mere 15 minutes away.

A lot has changed in this scene: the old station (including a waiting room dating from the old CNR days) has been demolished and moved south along the line. Extra tracks have been added, and the entire ex-CN Weston Sub corridor here has become a big trench or flyunder, due to the vocal protesting of some Weston community groups that adding more frequent GO service and the Union-Pearson Express trains would divide their community (ironically enough, the busy freight-only CP MacTier Sub on the left still crosses through Weston at-grade!). Much of the greenery and foliage has been removed by Metrolinx during the construction.

But trains still roll through Weston, the town that grew up around the railway lines and industries they served ever since the Grand Trunk Railway laid rails through the pre-village settlement here in 1856, 159 years ago.
