Its good, I like how I watched it all, so now I know where all the CNW signal bridges and signals are. At the end, how you come up to a bilevel at Ogilvie, I haven't seen it happen, but I know what they are doing. Once everyone on your train unloads, you saw how there was workers at the platform waiting. They bring either 1 of 2 GP15s, or 1 of 3 MP15ACs, whatever is assigned that day to do coach switching, and the uncoupler the F40PH. Then the switcher comes in, couplers all the bilevels together, (so your trainset, plus the trainset in front of you) and takes them all back to the UP coach yards just West of A2 by Western Ave. Station. If you hang out at Western Ave. on a Saturday morning early (which I have done a few times), you'll see 1 MP15 or 1 GP15 go downtown, then come back with 10 or more bilevels, since its 2 trainsets that was used during the weekdays. At first I thought, they didn't clear that switch for sure, and then I realized what you are on is going back to be serviced until Monday's rush hour.
LUCKY YOU!!!!! You got to ride the train to NTD!
LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!

Nice video, but why is it so grayish or sometime? Was it the window?
Huh. I guess the Gladstone Park station (between Norwood park and Jefferson park) is out of service. Minor detail
No, it's only used during rush hours.
Gladstone Park is open. It's just a peak hours only stop and the number of trains that use it are very limited.
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***** No Problem
What cab car unit was this?
National train day is tomorrow! (Friday may 13 2016)
