Train Spotting

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 :)

 
Saw the CN Business Train in Pickering today:

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.
