Here's some older video I took last year of some of the train activity on CP in Windsor after the midnight hour. I went out to get video of the empty DIM train and decided to shoot the other 2 trains that were in the . The DIM train was going to Toronto or Montreal, I honestly forget. T-21 was making a somewhat rare light move from Windsor Yard to Walkerville to pick up their train. Normally they have cars from Windsor Yard as well. That train runs to CSX Rougemere Yard in Detroit to interchange with CSX and always works Walkerville Yard to pick CSX interchange traffic out of cuts dropped by the day's westbound trains. 241 had just finished working Walkerville Yard and in the clip was about halfway to its crew change spot at College Ave in the cut for the tunnel to swap Canadian and American crews before heading for another crew change in Elkhart before terminating in Bensenville. At the time and still the case now 240/241 run as extras and are not a daily occurrence.
Train 1: CP DIM-26 with CP 6229 (SD60) and CREX
1350 (ES44AC).
Train 2: CP T-21 with CP 5012 (SD30C-ECO), UP
6832 (AC4400CW), and CP 5024 (SD30C-ECO).
Train 3: CP 241 with CP 8614 (AC4400CW) and
NS 1160 (SD70ACe).

What is the DIM train? also, is it possible to differentiate trains and train symbols without a scanner? for example, how would can one tell the difference between CP T27 and CP T20? Thank you for all of the information you put in the description of your videos. I've recently started studying and watching your older videos to get a better understanding of rail in Windsor and they really help.

DIM stands for dimensional. Dimensional loads or cars are loads/cars that don't follow the standard dimensions normal rail cars are built in. In the case of that train it consisted of empty wind turbine flat cars. For some reason even though its an empty train they still give it the dimensional ID. For the scanner question if you know what the train looks like normally then yes you can. For example, 147 is always a westbound loaded autorack train, 244 is always an empty eastbound autorack train, 140 is always an eastbound manifest etc. The T train IDs are based on what yard they're going to in Detroit. T28/27 and T40/41 go to NS Oakwood Yard in Melvindale, MI and are almost always a daytime move, normally OD at 7:00am in Windsor. T20/21 goes to CSX Rougemere Yard in Detroit and is almost always a nighttime movement.

CPWindsorsub thank you. how often does the dim train run? also, what are the symbols of the crude oil trains that go through windsor?

@CPWindsorsub 4 года назад

@@Jack-zy6ik Dim trains aren't that often. It's been a while since one has ran. Oil trains haven't ran through here in like 3 or 4 years.

@Jack-zy6ik 4 года назад

CPWindsorsub are you sure? two weeks ago i spotted a crude oil train at optimist. it's uploaded on my channel. do you think it was a re route then? i will take your word, but please try to explain to me what i saw a couple weeks back.

@@Jack-zy6ik Well CP does run ethanol trains here. That's what you likely saw. Those are 650/651 and the occasional 652/653. 644/645 were a thing but one hasn't run in over a year so I don't know if it's still a train on CP or not.
