Railpictures.ca - David Brook Photo: Here’s the coming towards you shot. Of the 60 cars, maybe 10 were loaded which certainly led to its demise west of Toronto. I still wonder what the possibilities would be if trucks were forced off the 401 in Windsor, Toronto and the Quebec border and this train ran every hour, what the state of traffic and pavement would be on the 401. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

It was a warm summer’s eve one night, back in the early 2000′s, when I was working for CP on the tie gang. Our foremen, always squeezing to the last minute, held up the eastbound expressway out of Windsor. I’ll never forget being tailed by 3 SD40-2s and a furious hogger at 15mph. I was in the rearmost speeder, the hogger 100ft behind me. Thou shalt not hold up the Expressway!
