It is getting late on a mild evening and the sun is setting. For once I get sunshine but end up shooting in shadows. This scene is between Bayview Jct (behind me) and Hamilton Jct ( the curve) and dinner-hour CN Budd Cars and GO train passing. Cab car number is 9853.

    What is different about the GO train that is done today? Anyone catch this?

    You mean the power on the west end? Still more impressed by 5 Budds together.

    GO switched the ends that they ran the power from for a couple of years in the mid-1970s. They claimed that it was to reduce complaints around Mimico – but considering that they switched back, there must have some other considerations that were more important than squawking homeowners.

    Great photo Arnold! Wish I could have experienced seeing the Budd in original road colours. By the time I started taking interest in them…they were painted for VIA.

    GO trains are powered from the east end. Cab cars on the west end. Occasionally you will see power on both ends.
    From the look of the GO unit in the photo, it looks like a GP40TC.

    Thanks, Marcus and Todd: Back in the day it was just another shot of “the usual” except 5 Budds was more than the 3 I would see most days. I wish I had been able to get more images like this………

    Arnold, the great thing about this photo is you are standing on the mainline and have the head ends of two trains in the same photo side by side, I’d say most photographers may only have this happen maximum a half dozen times in a lifetime.

    Even better is the fact the budds and the GO cab car match so nicely….

    It’s a great photo :)

    Nice work. Still plenty of time to do it again :) Yesterday morning it happened again, two eastbounds were racing each other out of Bayview. Someone on the Bayview bridge may have got it yesterday.
