    No. 70 has quite the consist, looks like 8 LRC cars. Should be no problem with CN’s minimum axle requirement for passenger trains approaching level crossings. Interesting that the New York bound Maple Leaf is right behind. Thanks for sharing, John

    Nice shot, Terry. Managed to shoot this up at Stewarttown.

    John, 70 and 75 have been running 8 cars sets for about three months now. Nice to shoot longer consists down this end of the corridor.

    Yes, Bronte Creek bridge (trestle) is a 537 ft single track bridge.

    John, V97 is opposing traffic waiting on the east side of Tansley.

    Jacob, I was hoping V97 would be first and V70 would be the one waiting. It appeared only the south track was available between Tansley and Burlington West so V97 had a bit of a wait on the east side.
