VIA Rail's New Fleet - LUMI (The YELLOW One) First Revenue Run to Ottawa on Train 37 and More!
Aug 1, 2024
VIA Rail's New Fleet train set number 18 has entered revenue service and is making its first revenue run to Ottawa on train #37. This special set has a unique top and bottom yellow livery that really shines. I have included a few different angles of this train passing by. Before #37 rolls west we have an afternoon westbound EXO commuter train with an ex GO Transit F59PH locomotive. Finally we have a CN transfer move with a pair of SD70M-2s and a hand full of cars.

I didn’t know the new fleet could hook up to the old fleet
That eastbound is CN 527
Thank you!🙂
sick video u got man, the quality and the smoothness of the footage you got is just incredibly satisfying to watch. This is the kind of camcorder quality im hoping for in my content in the future. Ive always loved that crossing even before the whole turcot rebuilt thing.
Thank you for the kind words. Im glad you enjoyed it! It is a great location for sure. I wish I had some video before the Turcot interchange rebuild too. 🙂
Very nice work, well worth waiting for. That first shot at St Mary's, I love the sound of the wheels as they cross the bridge. Looking forward to more!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It definitely made some neat sounds crossing the bridge 🙂
Not only smokey but also messed up horn sequence
Great video Love the F59 and the original gp40s, gp40-2w, f7. My question is that in model railroading there's a standard to run at scale speeds ( slow) When operating the engine is it frustrating to run at extremely slow speed? ( Real train)
All depends sometimes you gotta go fast and other times slow. A nice slow ride out in the country side 😉
Great video! Nice to see some uncommon footage
Thank you! 😊
GO Transit Will Never Retire Their F59PHs & Will Repaint Their F59PHs In The New Metrolinx Scheme

Great Video. Can't wait to see Part 2
Thank you! Im glad you enjoyed it!🙂
Great video! Some really cool shots in here. Here's some extra context/info: Extra service between London and Toronto wasn't a bad idea, but the way this was executed was asinine. It was a 5am departure from London and a four hour trundle over track that wasn't suited for this nor upgraded to make this more feasible. The reason MP40s couldn't run it was because they exceeded the weight restriction on the giant bridge in St. Marys, so as a result the trains could only go to 10 cars. Towards the end of the service the ridership was nonetheless promising, and with better timing and infrastructure it could have been a good service. The reinstatement of VIA trains 82 and 83 which use the Oakville and Dundas sub helps London commuters with a 2h15 trip, but passengers between London, St Marys, Stratford and Kitchener are out of luck. They're still stuck with a late-morning 84, which was retimed to avoid the GO train and hasn't returned to the original schedule.
Thank you Im glad you liked it! Lots of great info on track and weight restrictions too! So it was total tonnage on the bridge and not specific to an individual piece?
Stupid question. How would the engineers see in front of them? Wouldn’t they’re be some reflection of the light hitting them in the eye
@@Leafsfanforever there might be relections off signs here and there but the main thing blinding them would be the same bright lights from an opposing train. Just look away for a short period of time. Similar to driving your car.

@@TRSubProductions Me too! 🙂
After reading the video description, it got me wondering. Do you know which subdivisions (in Ontario anyways) have the highest maximum authorized speed? I'm guessing it's related to the track classification. And anywhere I can look this information up?
Im not sure where it can be looked up but in Ontario CN Kingston Sub, VIA Brockville, Chatham, Smiths Falls and Alexandria Subs all have 100MPH authorized speed which is also the fastest in Canada. There is also some 100mph on the Montreal to Quebec City route as well. If I find out which sections I will update this comment. 🙂
Cool video
Thank you! 🙂
