This is railroading as it should be! Right next to the junction, there is part of the RBG (Royal Botanical Gardens) known as the Rock Garden where, when I was living in the area, the wife could enjoy the floral displays while I was in close proximity to this exceptional railway observation site. She was happy and I was happy! 2024/08/31. Ontario, Canada.
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
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.
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!
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 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
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.
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
Superb video Michael!

Awesome collection of trains including the “Blue Devil”. First I heard of this magical location.

Great video! Very, VERY impressive...Thank you for posting!
Excellent video.
Thanks!
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.
The local yard job with the same engines came back @ 12:53 (but w/ GP40-2LW #4770 leading). :D
I'm afraid you'll have to pardon those CN passenger cars @ 7:56. :P
I love Amtrak! And via!
Awesome video I totally enjoyed that and some sweet catches 😀
this is the best railfanning location in the region!
Awesome video!

Before noon.

Can someone tell me the nearest cross streets to this location?
Why do trains need numbers?

@@OntarioTrafficMan many thanks for the reply, we still have fingers crossed our holiday is going to go ahead in September
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.

@@sc0tte1-416 Interesting, which line was that?
@@OntarioTrafficMan Lakeshore West close to Clarkson station
well your videos are too cool.

Nice video.
