    Aha it was you :) A friend of mine who lives nearby called me and asked why four people were standing on HWY 140 …. is something special coming? Guess this was it. He’s not a fan but knows all about us :)

    With all that creosoted wood played out, it won’t be long before a tie renewal crew will be disturbing the ballast on one or both of those tracks.

    Very nice – great sun and any power on a 562 is a blessing.

    What’s going with the ties in the middle. New track or replacments?

    Btw, is this the same train that goes on the Humberstone/Tube spur. From CN Oakvile sub and CP Galt/North Toronto experince..ie understanding the simplicity of the track layout compared to Niagara/Welland it’s hard for me to figure out. Comparing Google maps, the Southern Ontario Google Earth project and Openrailway map it’s a tough one! And why such a space between the two tracks in the photo? I love shots like this where I can conduct my research! And small trains with two six axel units is intrguing :) Thanks!

    562 does not go on the tube spur. Cars are dropped and picked up from Southern yard. Trillium takes them to welded tube from there using 340.
