GO Transit / UP Express /VIA Rail / AMTRAK at Union Station Toronto rush hour Oct 15 2015

View of Union Station from the western approach from 8:20-9:30am
Big change since my last video with the UP Express trains and no snow!! Also caught the first complete set of repainted GO train cars including new control cab #304
Shot some new angles from a lower position that is more difficult because it is on a steep incline. Tried to edit out most of the rough camerawork moving from train to train.
Hope you enjoy this much action.

3:22 Hey, Ron. Hey, Billy

[@lucasmaximilianosantanderg3521]

VIA P42 910: Hello Ron Amtrak P42 158: Hi Billy

[@thetaylorwithautism2005]

That catch at 3:22 Had 2 P42's One Amtrak and one VIA

[@OntarioTrafficMan]

Love the shot with the side-by-side VIA and Amtrak P42s both with stainless steel carriages!

[@alexanderip1003]

+reaperexpress I think i like the Siemens Charger HST better

[@OntarioTrafficMan]

@The Axel Define "better". We are just talking about our subjective opinions of looks.
On that topic I think the VIA Charger looks better than the P42, but the Amtrak Charger looks worse.

[@Neville60001]

@Axel Screws Around, do you have a _creditable_ link with info on why the Charger locos aren't good, or are you just blowing hot air? In case you haven't realised, we can't have the 'og locos' running forever.

[@uprailroadkidthomas]

Listen to the dueling bells at 38:04

[@Noodle_Train]

51:45 is the full consist of the new fleet

[@smudgekitty19]

when it comes to railcars/ cabcars, yes, but 600-666 are mp40ph-3cs, 666+ are mp54acs, some mp40s are just in the new livery

[@GamingRailfanner]

5:28. BRUH!!

[@xavierkunzavi5209]

😂

[@TheActualKingOfRailfanning]

Back when this vid was made Amtrak 158 and via 910 were so popular in vids but now all those via train engines are now repainted

[@123selkirk]

Yes the shot at 3:30 of the video of the Amtrak and the VIA leaving the station is a nice shot.
Sometimes you just get lucky

[@Esoeso933]

I thought Amtraks stopped coming to Toronto.

[@antidisestablishmentariani6182]

@@Esoeso933 that was between chicago and toronto
now its toronto windsor
and cross the border its port huron chicago
amtrack still runs from toronto to NYC

[@AKawalski]

I liked that tooooo 😊

[@uprailroadkidthomas]

Wow. Nonstop GO Transit

[@ethanconcepcion260]

25:51 where was that horn from?

[@123selkirk]

There was some construction nearby. Could have been a truck horn

[@ethanconcepcion260]

Mmhm

[@pokechimp88]

That's a k5la, probably from an earlier GO Cabcar or P42DC

[@wilfstor3078]

3:19 woo hoo Amtrak vs Via, Its a race.

[@ethanconcepcion260]

Why is the amtrak there?

[@alitabatabaei4578]

​@@ethanconcepcion260it's the Maple leaf service from new York Penn station to Toronto union station

[@devvydoesstuff]

46:01 anybody notice 564 missing the logo on its sides and it’s running backwards

[@calebverdone105]

It’s because they are running one on each side

[@kinkisharyocoasters]

Can you look out the front of GO trains facing west?

[@RaisedLetter]

Nice catch of the MP54AC

[@devvydoesstuff]

those weren’t mp54acs those were repainted mp40phs

[@deliaslucero6536]

VIA rail, Amtrak, Go transit, And Metrolink are the only ones that are cool

[@Point_Capistrano]

Delias Lucero metro link?

[@southeasternpennsylvaniara1588]

San Juan Railfan he means Metrolinx for the Union Pearson express.

[@TheSouthernOntarioRailfannner]

Wait the U P has passenger trains?

[@SomeRamdomAhole]

these some big boys

[@oofyalDAMMIT]

That's the Amtrak Maple leaf

[@The_Lunch_Man]

I didn't know Amtrak operated in Canada.

[@TrainsfanAlex6060]

They go to Montreal and Toronto, and not between Canadian cities like Via, it's just to and from the border

[@The_Lunch_Man]

Alex McDougall ah I see

[@mimielliott891]

Technically they dont, they just go to Canada

[@acetanahashi8045]

Only 3 Amtrak trains go into Canada. They are the Maple Leaf that runs from New York City to Toronto, the Adirondack which runs from New York City to Montreal, and the Cascades which runs from Eugene, Oregon to Vancouver, British Columbia.

[@brianmcdonald6519]

@@acetanahashi8045 Thanks for the info. I live in Toronto, and only knew about the Maple Leaf service.

[@scm6406]

Cool

[@Nouvellecosse]

For being in a rush hour, they sure don't seem to be in much of a rush. I can't believe how slow they come in and out of station!

[@123selkirk]

+Nouvellecosse I'm glad they do go slow because it would make my job a lot harder!!

[@GEES44DC]

+Nouvellecosse It's 10 and 15mph track. They can't go any faster.

[@Nouvellecosse]

It is because the track is low quality?

[@GEES44DC]

Nouvellecosse I wouldn't say that. You can't run high speeds over the mess of switches and lights that are in the area. The switches are not designed to take those high speeds.
