4K - GO and VIA Train Action on the Lakeshore West (Oakville Subdivision)

50% 1

The Oakville Subdivision is known for being one of the busiest rail corridors in Canada and North America. Once owned by the Canadian National Railway, Metrolinx owns the line now and runs a record number of GO Trains, and also VIA Rail Canada trains. CN Freight Trains still run on the far Western end of the line.
I focused most of my attention in the Sunnyside area, between the Exhibition and Mimico GO stations during the morning rush hour. Not only do regularly scheduled GO and VIA trains traverse the line at this hour, but deadheads from the TMC and Willowbrook Matienence Center's pass through here, heading to/from Union Station. VIA's Canadian train also made an appearance, 12+ hours late!
Also threw in some various clips from down the line at Long Branch and Burlington GO stations, as well as some action from the CN Halton Subdivision at the Brampton GO Station.
All locations listed in video.
Thanks for watching!

RailFanning & Stuff I can't even imagine. All I can say is firsthand is that while I'm at work I feel so much away and sometimes we hit such large bumps (if we go over crossing etc) my feet literally come up off the floor! I'm used to it by now but in the beginning it was terrifying! Its worse in the HEP cars than the LRC but both are still bad!

What route does the Canadian take into Union now? Last time I was on it they used the Bala sub and entered from the East.

@cmac9029 5 лет назад

That was the train heading to union from VIA’s TMC at first. The locomotives always lead the direction of travel, but it has to reverse from the yard to Union before heading west.

@cmac9029 5 лет назад

David Lisowski They come down the Bala starting in Capreol, then switch to the Newmarket from washago to Union/lakeshore line

@davidlisowski5245 5 лет назад

Love your videos. They remind me about the time I lived in Mississauga, back in 1978. Used to take the GO Train to Toronto all the time. The trains were still the old ones, and soon the double deckers were introduced and are still in service. Whenever I am back to Canada, the GO train is one of the things that I must do.

@lordmisanthrope1949 5 лет назад

The length of the GO trains is a good example of a city and transit that grow together. Startup systems often run small trains infrequently because ridership takes decades to build. GO is running 12-car trains that are standing room only during rush hour, you don't build that overnight.

@@calebweems9392,40 and 50-year-old passenger trains are great for a tourist railway to run, but not so great for a government-run mass transit company like VIA Rail to be running. VIA should be running more modern passenger trains anyway, like the Viewliner cars built by Budd (and now by CAF) that Amtrak uses on its long haul routes; hopefully, when VIA gets the new Siemens trainsets, the company also considers getting the Viewliners with the big windows for both the _Canadian_ route and the _Ocean_ route.
