You pulled off a rather neat shot there, Dave.
Thanks Arnold; not the greatest quality scanning from a print, but it’s always nice when you can see motion in a still.
I managed to shoot the expressway a number of times… it was (and still is) a fast train – you’ve captured it nicely.
I believe it was the POST-911 inspection delays at the Detroit border that killed off the west end of the Expressway train. That and a trucking company losing an auto parts contract. Today; the Expressway is missing the traffic that Zellers/HBC used to load. If you want to see it today, go to Lisgar GO station near Winston and Highway 401 at 19:00. That’s when it leaves the Milton terminal.
That could well be. I figured it died from a lack of traffic. I don’t think I ever saw the western version with more than 10-15 loads. It was great because it was predictable; westbound just after noon, eastbound around 4; and almost always boatloads of power.
