- Presented in 4K UHD! In June and July of 2017, I made a 3 week visit to Toronto, Ontario in Canada. In this video, we take a visit to Bayview Junction in Burlington, Ontario! CN's Bayview Junction is a very popular train watching location, and a major rail hub for the CN and CP rail network in Southern Ontario. CN has the Grimsby Sub, Dundas Sub, and Oakville Sub all converging and meeting here at Bayview Jct. On the other side of the junction, CP runs the Hamilton Subdivision between Buffalo and Guelph Junction through Bayview Junction. However, the rail traffic from CP is far less than from CN.
Featured here are various CN freight trains, VIA Rail Canada Corridor trains, GO Trains, and Amtrak's Maple Leaf. Also threw in a clip of the Southern Ontario Railway passing through the west side of Bayview heading to their switching duties in nearby Brantford. Newer power is mainly seen here, but caught an awesome CN "Blue Devil" unit one of the days I visited Bayview! Also caught a funky consist on CN 148, with a couple of CN Business Cars in tow! I visited Bayview a total of 4 times during my visit to the Toronto area - I look forward to returning soon!!
Known for not only the the busy freight and passenger train action, but the scenic and peaceful train watching location, Bayview Junction is known wide and far as Ontario and Canada's premier train watching location. Once a year, the annual Bayview Junction railfan meetup occurs, usually in late June or early July. I had the opportunity to attend along with about two dozen or so other railfans from the Ontario area.
Stay tuned all month for even more videos from the Toronto area!
Thanks for watching! Enjoy!

I found this junction because of you and I greatly appreciate that. Thanks for sharing this and showing me a great spot to railfan at.
this is the best railfanning location in the region!
I know it's from 2017 but just subscribed to your channel! I definitely need to get to this spot!
Awesome collection of trains including the “Blue Devil”. First I heard of this magical location.
Superb video Michael!

I love Amtrak! And via!
33:57 nobody is talking about the F59ph?
24:08 And the old cab car?
Well, this video is 5 years old, so the old cab car wasn’t even old. And the f59ph was still rare, but not as rare as now
Great video! Very, VERY impressive...Thank you for posting!
Excellent video.
Thanks!
Great spot for a railcam
True
Yard job @ 9:02. That's pretty good. But it recurred a few more times that day. Also, sorry for the rain while I watch this yard job.
I'm afraid you'll have to pardon those CN passenger cars @ 7:56. :P
Awesome video!
Awesome video I totally enjoyed that and some sweet catches 😀
The local yard job with the same engines came back @ 12:53 (but w/ GP40-2LW #4770 leading). :D
Why is there a intermodal freight train that's pulling passenger cars for the first cars?
19:26 it's number 666!!!!!!! Great video
The Devil’s Engine
Excelente video!!
Nice video!
25:55 no CN logo????
19:27 GO 666
33:50 F59PH
3:48 well that’s rare
1:11 so we got a BLUE CN LOCOMOTIVE????
7:51 mans pullin passenger cars
9:00 Open front Door???
11:00 VIA Canada 150 Years
14:20 CN TRAIN MEET
27:25 only Amtrak I saw in the video
20:02 best horn I EVER HEARD
The one with no CN logo most likely was in a collision or derailment, it got its nose replaced and hasn't gotten the CN logo
The blue CN locomotive is an Illinois Central locomotive, it eventually got the CN logo when IC was purchased by CN
The CN train pulling passengers cars is just a equipment move to somewhere
The CN locomotive with the door open is because the locomotive most likely doesn't have an AC inside
19:26 YOOOOO, THEY NEED TO CHANGE THAT LOCOMOTIVE NUMBER
No CN logo on SD70M-2 engine #8007 @ 25:55? Yes!
Was this filmed all in one day
Nice video.
Aren't the autoracks with the same TFM and Ferromex liveries carrying automobiles manufactured in Mexico?
My son is just in love with trains and your videos! I’m new to this, and not sure if you’d remember, but what time of day was best for you from this location? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Before noon.
Nice video
Nice video Mitchell! How many hours where you there for? And at 35:00 what time was that at and do you know the train number I'm dying to see a J train.
Thanks Max, I was there 4 times which are all compiled into this video. Not sure of the train number, but it was around 6 PM in the evening on a Sunday, right before the Maple Leaf showed up.
Thanks
16:27 17:03 7:51 K5HL

michael how do u get to that spot where u are
When are you visiting Southern Ontario again
Hi all,
I am visiting Toronto in September 2020 and wouldn't mind a trip here, what is the closest rail station? Is it Burlington which I can see is 8 or 9 stops out of Union Station, or somewhere completely different
Regards
Rob
This is filmed at the Spring Gardens pedestrian bridge. The closest station is Aldershot but it's a 5 km walk from there so you'd probably want to take the Route 1/101 Plains Road bus from Burlington Station instead.
If you're interested in passenger trains, the best time to visit is between 17:03 and 19:03 on weekdays, in which time you can see 7 GOs, 3 VIAs and an Amtrak. Outside of rush hour, passenger service through the junction is pretty minimal.
@@OntarioTrafficMan many thanks for the reply, we still have fingers crossed our holiday is going to go ahead in September
Can someone tell me the nearest cross streets to this location?
I’ve never seen Amtrak in Canada before!
They are pretty common in Toronto and Vancouver areas.
@@sc0tte1-416 They only run once a day to Toronto, I don't think that makes them very common.
@@OntarioTrafficMan where I used to live with tracks right behind my house I would commonly see them, but they slowed down in recent years. I think they are partnered with via rail
@@sc0tte1-416 Interesting, which line was that?
@@OntarioTrafficMan Lakeshore West close to Clarkson station
Is that an SD90 at 4:20?
Hi Jackson, it's actually a SD75i on point. Thanks for watching!
MichaelLovesTrains thank you for the help :)
Why do trains need numbers?
