The 0700 yard job is seen reversing under the Burlington Skyway, now known as the Nikola Tesla Parkway. This is one of the few (2?) CN North America painted GP40-2w's left on the roster and it shows the paint scheme really well, and nice low winter light too. Note the grade crossing, that's actually the end of a cul de sac with a grade crossing, rather strange, but someone seems to have ignored it and driven right through... the entrance behind me (to left) is for the former Siemens factory which has been closed for some time.

  1. Have seen a shocking amount of people drive through there and onto the sidewalk and then out onto Burlington Street. It’s quite something.

  2. I know there can’t be all that many left but I would hope that it’s surely more than two. Off the top of my head I can think of 9402, 9427, 9461, 9523, 9639? In any case this one looks quite good here.

  3. I can add 9418, 9531 & 9677 to that list.

  4. 9482 is another one to add to the list.

  5. That’s a lot more than I thought! Thanks all.

  6. Great shot – but that is the former Burlington Street – the Skyway is the QEW! (You had me going for a minute though!)

  7. That’s correct, I called it the skyway in error. I still call it Burlington St. I can’t call it by the new name..
