    CN 541? I know that this train transfers onto the Newmarket sub to switch imperial oil daily. To be honest, I have been trying to catch this train since the year 2013 but without any luck. Do you have any idea when this train runs? I heard that it (sometimes?) runs during daytime but I have stumbled on to it a few times between 11:00 and 11:30 PM while heading for home.

    Hi Dan’ caught it at 1140, and it did, indeed, head down for Esso.

    Thanks Dave! I guess you can’t really be sure when these EXTREMELY elusive local trains that service the Newmarket sub run.

    Speaking of these locals; train 545 which runs on the Newmarket sub north of the York subdivision “often” makes it’s bi-weekly (as far as I know) trips on Mondays and Thursdays. It usually interchanges onto the Newmarket sub at around 11 to 11:30 AM and arrives at the MacMillan yard by 3:00 PM. At least that’s what I have observed over the years… :)

    545 was working at the same time; was parked north of Snider waiting for GO’s to clear.
