Definitely a shop job, Wikipedia claims it is almost 15 ft, so the scale looks off for sure.That is a very strange photo on the tweet, it looks like all the people were photoshopped into it.
Is the loco that tall?

OMG, I’m not an LE, but there is no way that it was traveling at a speed such that it "must be able to stop within one-half the range of vision of equipment." I was expecting it to have a long string of cars in tow, and the LE misjudged their stopping distance, but no, it was just a locomotive. It’s appears to me that the speed restriction was either not received or ignored.On another note... here's something you don't see everyday in Canada - video footage of that CN/EXO train crash in Montreal from last November:

Gotta admit this much, Crash National doing a bang-up job of maintaining their reputation
Seems odd that TSB’s portal does not show an open report on that one, since the CBC did say they were investigating itOn another note... here's something you don't see everyday in Canada - video footage of that CN/EXO train crash in Montreal from last November:

I really don't know which thread to ask this question in, however I have decided to ask here and if Mods feel it is more appropriate in another thread, feel free to move.
I ask generally but expect the knowledgeable to answer. Can the plant(s) at CN Thickson/Oshawa West handle a crossover from South track GO Subdivision to Station track Kingston Subdivision to allow the potential of GO Trains to continue East on the Kingston Sub to potentially Port Hope/Colburg? From my limited knowledge it appears to be physically possible judging from spacing of current crossovers on each respective Subdivision. I am looking forward to discussion on that overall concept and the technical Merritts of such a proposal.
To get to Bowmanville, yes. That’s now in procurement. But if one were improving regional trains beyond Durham Region, one might not route that way.I thought Metrolinx was leaning towards using CP’s Belleville Sub east of Oshawa.
Only as far as Bowmanville - the real value is getting service into more central parts of Oshawa, and slowly too as it twists and turns its way onto the CP at vast cost now that the latter has developed a fresh interest in GM.I thought Metrolinx was leaning towards using CP’s Belleville Sub east of Oshawa.
