Awesome video, I was on the crew that diverted and build each of these line swings, it’s fun looking back, and you can hear my brother clearing a train at 7:20 great stuff, thanks

Thank you Richard. That is a good update. It looks like a steep incline when the camera is zoomed out. Excellent video.

Thanks. I'm guessing the grade looks to be 3 - 4%.

[@lxdesign1]

wow .. never realized how steep that grade is - I am guessing 4%

[@lxdesign1]

@Mike Ritchie 4% is max grade before a rack/cog system is needed

Is the Weston Sub now owned by Metrolinx? Looks like a lot of overhead was left. I thought it was to allow CN access with stacks/autoracks, then I remembered the eventual electrification. Excellent Camera work and Editing.

Thanks itchycam. I believe that Metrolinx now does own the Weston sub.

That is some incline going under the CP tracks. Also, the last time I was in that area they had the bridge across the CP line there at the Junction. I notice a few GO on the CP line about too head east, are they headed too the Union and how.? Are they headed down the Valley?
