Just on the GO train this morning and seeing something unusual—another GO train beside us at Kipling. Never seen that before. It’s an empty train and it just came to a stop beside us. Not in the station, but beside it.

More likely an equipment or training move. Training runs do happen on the Canpa Sub in that vicinity..

Cynicism over the years convinced me they were blowing me off when I emailed them about additional service. I'm glad it's actually happening.

All this, including surge hotel pricing, and it could just as easily be overcast.

Niagara Falls proper always has a mist rising over it. Seems like the last place one would choose to get a clear view.
Port Colborne, maybe.....

Im planning to go to Fort Erie if it’s a clear day. If it’s overcast, I’ll just enjoy the short period of darkness in Hamilton.

If it's clear enough I'll take my mountain bike down to Turkey Point, although all the parking around the TPMBC area will probably be rammed that day with everybody who thought just like me.

If only it were feasible to send some GO trains between Hamilton GO Centre and Fort Erie on the CP… but maybe CP would not like that precedent set.

The line to fort Erie is actually a CN line. So, it is a little more possible, and maybe even a little better to set this president for the future of rail in this area.

Thanks - clearly I forgot the CP ends a bit short at StevensvilleThe line to fort Erie is actually a CN line. So, it is a little more possible, and maybe even a little better to set this president for the future of rail in this area.

An interesting little bit of co-production.... it made no sense for the two competing railways to each maintain lightly-used parallel trackage..... so they decided to cooperate. It happens when the will and the right incentives are there.

No worries. I like that map system as i shows things like this clearly.
I do wonder if there will ever be the business case for GO to ever put a station in Fort Erie. I doubt it, but at least the tracks are still there. There was one there, but it has since been demolished.
