FRONT CAB VIEW – O-Train Light Rail Transit System, Eastbound on the Confederation Line (Part 1)
TRACKSIDE ADVENTURES
FRONT CAB VIEW of Ottawa’s O-Train Light Rail Transit System, eastbound on the Confederation Line from Tunney’s Pasture Station to Lees Station, including the underground section in downtown Ottawa. Part 2 will cover the easternmost stations from Lees Station to Blair Station. The Confederation Line currently has 13 stations.
The O-Train system has two lines, the electrically-operated Confederation Line (Line 1) and the diesel-operated Trillium Line (Line 2). Since May 2020, Stage 2 construction has temporarily shut down Line 2, with replacement bus service being offered at all stations. When Line 2 reopens in mid-2023, it will extend southward to Limebank station and incorporate five newly constructed stations, as well as an additional line (Line 4) linking Line 2 to Ottawa International Airport. By 2025, expansions along Line 1 and the construction of Line 3 stations in the west end are expected to be complete, bringing the system's length to 64.5 km (40.1 mi), four lines and 41 stations. The O-Train network is fully grade separated and does not have any level crossings with roads.

Well done video
Excellent preview!
Nice video! This is train 207.
Awesome vid! One of my rail fanning spots.
One of highest paying terminals in all of Canada seen right here. After overtime crews can make $160-185,000 CAD a year.
enjoy while you can, this may never happen as easily going forward! Bit of a Lemon!
The driver's side has a wall panel but yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually block the inside window on the right side to prevent passengers from seeing inside the cab. Thanks for watching!
Great video I love that P3 on the second train
Great video I love that P3 on the second train
Great video I love that P3 on the second train
Well I'm going to thank you for blocking out the faces ! I see nothing wrong these Guys did . But there is to many railfans recording way more than they should . They don't know when to shut the camera off . at least you block out faces . The ratheads watch this stuff as well and will fire you for any violations they see you do here if they can identify you.. I suppose to an outsider this looks fun. Its not. Is one of the most mundane and boring jobs a person will ever have . pay is good and so is retirement. The rest of it sucks
Hearing that station announcement chime brings me back! Love it!
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
Is there any way to follow the CN signaling system over the air using SDR or another method?
I wouldn't know unfortunately. Sorry. Thanks for waching!
The dispatch is on the ball.
The Rock Mountaineer should have been "in the hole" awaiting the CN freight to roll by! Stopping, holding and starting a 141-car freight train is not the most efficient way to run a railroad! I know that Rocky pay a fee for a path on the host railroad, but freight pays the bills. All that aside, a great sight for railfans!!
Yes, I agree. I was told by Rocky Mountaineer personnel that they do pay a premium to CN to have priority over freight trains. CN even had a hi-rail truck run ahead of the Rocky Mountaineer for several miles on the Squamish Sub in the Anderson Lake/Seton Lake area. That stretch of rarely used track is prone to rock slides and track defects. The Rocky Mountaineer pays CN a lot of money to guarantee their daylight running schedule. Thanks for watching!
I was so thrilled while watching this video and towards the end realized that GP-38 # 4789 is one of the engines that I have on my model railroad layout. I’m so happy to see that it is still in use today. Great video. I live in the US but I love Canadian National railroad. I’m of Canadian decent so it’s kind of special for me.
I'm glad that this video of GP-38 #4789 means something special for you. Thanks for watching!
Via used to use that station no ?
VIA still use a portion of that station as an optional stop. The rest of the building is used by CN. Thanks for watching!
CP Coast CP CO045 (San Jose area, Santa Clara, CA), we would come down off the main from the Coast Sub, get a signal, shove back up the line towards San Francisco (CalTrain section of track). Clear behind that signal and wait for the Coast Starlight to pass. Then saw back down to go back to our industry for spotting. Very common, doesn't matter if it's the rear end or head end, the signal will change after passing the IJ (Insulating Joint).
Hello from New Zealand. I'm not a follower of CN much so is the railroad line through Jasper fairly flat to only have two? locos running the crude oil train? Ive subscribed, awesome country you have there!
Thanks for subscribing! From what I could gather, the ruling grade west of Jasper is 0.7%. I'm not sure though if two locomotives would be sufficient to pull such a long train over that grade. Maybe someone else with more knowledge on this subject will provide more info. Also, there could very well be another DPU at the end of the train, for which I did not stay long enough at the station to see.
@@canadianrailroadadventures I'd say there would be been a DPU at the end of the train.
all 4 of Them!
Nice catch the Chaleur lumber is from the region I live in, from Belledune New Brunswick
You caught VIA 6428! That locomotive is one of the few to still retain a K3L in service!
Thank you for the additional info and thanks for watching!
@@canadianrailroadadventures You're welcome! The K3L is one of my favourite horns!
Good job🔝🔝🔝👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
we call it a box or an SBU (sense and braking unit) better known as the caboose killer. never heard a railroader say EOT lol
Fred or Freddy for ...f***ing rear end device is what we called it.
Where I come from it was called E O T . end of train device . You wasn't supposed to say Fucking on the radio although at times you would . Along with a few other select adjectives.
@@rc391995 lol true say dude. im canadian we call it a box or sbu
I've definitely heard it called EOT out here in the field. My gut feeling is that one of the reasons is that the computer system lists the 'car type' as 'EOT" when the consist is printed.
@@cdavid8139 yea i see. at cn we just call it a box
Great catch! Nice job!
Glad that you liked it. Thanks for watching!
What cameras do you use for filming?
Hi! I don't use any fancy cameras for my shooting. In this particular video, I used my Samsung smarphone as I was walking in front of the train station while on vacation. I usually use a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS100 (10x optical zoom) on a tripod for close-up shots and a DJI Osmo Action for wide-angle shots. Thanks for watching!
great catch its CN C773 220 cars 1+1+1 set up
Thank you very much for the additional info. With 108 cars in front of the mid-train DPU, I assumed that the train was over 200 cars. Thanks for watching!
150 cars isn't extra long. It's quite average.
That coal train needed more power up front!! Nice footage man!!
I didn't catch the end of the train as I had to leave so I'm not sure if it had a rear-end DPU. Regardless, that coal train seemed underpowered for sure. Thanks for watching!
Nice! What camera did you use to film?
Hi! I don't use any fancy cameras for my shooting. The close-up shots are filmed with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS100 (10x optical zoom) on a tripod. Wide-angle shots are filmed with a DJI Osmo Action using a hand grip for mobility. Thanks for watching!
Great job and awesome footage! I love when you catch 589 working the interchange!
Just incredible views! Lucky you!
Was it just me or did anyone else notice the other signal change to a clear
Good catch! I hadn't even noticed it myself. The clear signal on the north track was for VIA Rail train 67 (Montréal-Toronto) that went by approximately 25 minutes later. You can see it in the next video (Part 8) of this series. Thanks for watching!
On the high speed head. Wasn't just you.
Yes ! It did change to "Clear" . Yes I did see it
I also noticed the yellow went dark once the train was completely passed it. No train 'facing' the signal anymore.
Spectacular coverage as always huge like for u ||||||||
Thanks for watching!
It's a luxury train. Very cool. I will also subscribe to your channel. 😄👍
Greetings from Canada. Thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel!

Thank you for subscribing!
Excellent area and great footage man...I'll be back for more!!
Thanks for watching!
Excellente👌🏻 video my friend 😁🤝🏻 Greeting 🙋🏻 from Argentina 🇦🇷
Thanks for watching!
This was an interesting video series and I am looking forward to the continuation of this series.
Yes, I will definitely continue this series soon. The best is yet to come. The last day (Kamloops to Vancouver ) was amazing, both from a scenery and railroad perspective. Thanks again for watching!
What track rule authority governs movements on these subs? I didn't notice any wayside signals. Is this due to the angle that you're filming from?
Now that you mention it, I don't recall seeing any wayside signals at SNS Dragon. The train did stop briefly before entering the yard in Quesnel so there is a wayside signal there. I would assume there are signals on the Prince George Sub south of Quesnel.
Wasn't the train dispatcher aware that the siding was obstructed? Bone head move by someone. I would have assessed the offending party with some time off.
You would think so. I really don't know either why it happened. Thanks for watching!
Wow Its an amazing video footage |
Thanks for watching!
Amazing 😍👍
Thank you for watching!
What was the make of the dpu unit
CN 2676 is a GE C44-9W built in 2004. Thanks for watching!
Smart layout of the switches at these industrial sidings with tie in switches at either end of the main. Pickups and set outs can be made in either direction of travel.
Good observation. Thanks for watching!
That is some dated equipment but the heavier coaches ride better than the newer lightweight ones.
Yes, some of that equipment was built in the late 40s and early 50s but they were rebuilt in the mid-90s. You can find more info here: cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/VIA_Rail_Canada_4000-4009,_4100-4125 . Thanks for watching!
Listen to the FLAT SPOTS.
Yes, you can clearly hear flat spots on most of their freights. Dangerous goods cars seem to be better maintained but box cars, centerbeams and gondolas could use a little bit more loving. Thanks for watching!
Real piggery as usual at CN.
By my NORAC rule book that would have been a restricting into the yard. I liked your video so I subscribed. I am a retired conductor, 43 years, retired now for 9 years.
It is always a pleasure to get additonal information from a current or former railroad worker. Thank you for watching and subscribing!
What Railroad did you work for?
Railroads in Canada operate under CROR (Canadian Railroad Operating Rules) similar to the NORAC or the GCOR but with their own signal rules.
Where I cone from they would tell you you couldn't ride a car that didn't have a chest high vertical hand hold. Worked for me .
Enjoying your retirement I hope. I will probably bail the end of the year. This job is in my blood though. I'll miss it
When the railroads instituted engineer/conductor crews, the yards where major set out work was to be accomplished utility brakemen were hired. This started with Con-Job, I mean Con-Rail.
Thank you for the additional info and thanks for watching!
Utility brake man on CN are usually trainmasters
