Any idea if CN is going to press for the replacement of the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge? I’m sure they don’t want to constantly loop around to Buffalo all the time.
A single F59 on a Niagara service? Sounds like a recipe for falling behind schedule. Niagara trains normally reach 93 mph between Toronto and Burlington, but the F59s are limited to 83 mph. And to make matters worse, they have 1000 less horsepower than the usual MP40s, making acceleration slower too. They should keep the F59s on the slower lines like Barrie or Stouffville and make sure they can get an MP40 on the Niagara trains.
Most of the trains that I caught were near running on time, or delayed due to the Welland Canal. Was honestly surprised to see them being used solo on the line, but no complaints here!
Who else thought these trains would derail
8:24 those tracks look like there going to break. Scary seeing that train bounce like that.
Hi Michael, you watched those trains in Grimsby where I live, Amazing trains you got on video, I really enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you!
Great catches, & shots!
These tracks can use some upgrading. Did you see at 8:24 the train cars get bumped up at that part of the track
Not in the best shape indeed! Kinda was scary standing so close with the poor track conditions!
How fast are these going? The train at 1:50 looks like it has some serious speed on it.
How did you know these trains were coming? I really enjoy watching your train videos! Awesome video!
Nice video!
Love the new profile picture!
Btw, reinstating 330 and 331 was not unexpected. Everyone knew CN was costing themselves more money than they were saving with that move.

I'll go with CN management managing their railroad rather than armchair critic commentary.
Need this in train sim.
That SD70 #1009 occured @ 7:32. :-)
I'm guessing you come to Canada on business and catch trains while up here? Nice shots!
Thanks!
This is in Hamilton
No, this is in Niagara Region
Nice video!
Thanks!
