I don't have the precise date close at hand, but CN stopped delivering chlorine to the Ashbridges water treatment plant around 2019-2020.

Looked on google maps, there are a ton of "spurs" branching out. I wonder if who owns the majority of the land the rails run on? Such as unwin ave

Historic train spotting and always fun to see a picture/angle one hasn't seen before. I wonder if @crs1026 is in the crowd

Railpictures.ca - Doug Page Photo: My, how times have changed. Look at the number of people who have turned out for the inauguration of GO Train service to Richmond Hill. (Of course, they could be there to see the CN 6060 steam locomotive!) And, de

Love this thread! Long time railfan.

I may have posted a few of these elsewhere in the spring, but thought I'd upload all of them in their full hi-res versions here.

First series is at the monstrous CN MacMillan Yard and the second set are from the smaller CPKC Toronto Yard.

Something little different. For some reason this popped into my FB feed. For some reason I couldn't copy the text that accompanied it but, apparently this was a conversion in Austria in the 1930s. DC overhead power was inverted to 3-phase AC, then rectified to DC and fed to motors attached to 3 of the drivers. All of the electrical hardware was inside the hollowed-out boiler jacket.

All was lost after Germany invaded.

@crs1026 is one of the first people I think of when I see pictures like this.

GO Train heading North up the Don Valley by Don Mills.

I thought the single track was odd. How do they share it with southbound trains?

^ there are sidings to the north and south. I assume even with the Northlander coming back and a new layover to the north they still won't need to adjust them cc @smallspy

Moving this into this thread (more appropriate place for it) and out of the general Toronto photography thread.
