Niagara Express GO Trains, VIA Rail & CN Railfanning at Fourth Line in Oakville - Summer 2022

[@kingcroesus600]

I’ve always wanted to see a GO train in person. I’ve always loved bombardier cars with a good mp40-3C or f59phi great video!

[@jayvonnoelsmith8445]

I see one a person

Very Nice Catch Of The F59PH Double Header, VIA 76 And VIA 75 As Well As CN L554!

[@theclarksonrailfan2521]

Thanks for watching!

[@drgwdrgw]

At 12:33 CN 4138 appears. This GP9 rolled out of the GMD London factory 63 years ago!

I really appreciate your details in the description. Great video.

[@davidlisowski5245]

Didn’t know the old cab cars were still leading on occasion. Would love to see a solid consist in the two-tone green.

[@theclarksonrailfan2521]

Old cab cars lead every day on the Oakville Sub now. Full tone consists are rare but 673 had one recently

[@trainboy647]

Epic vintage CN Catch

[@theclarksonrailfan2521]

[@PhoenixSnook-x7v]

[@thelorneparkrailfanner3586]

Cool video!!

[@theclarksonrailfan2521]

Thanks!

Wait at 2:57 doesnt the niagara express use track 2

[@theclarksonrailfan2521]

They don't always, it depends on train traffic

[@hanssamson5436]

I know that they need F59s double header to pull/push the 10-12 passenger car to provide more power but the MP40s will remain only 1 to push/pull 10-12 passenger car if I am right

[@theclarksonrailfan2521]

Doubleheaders have been banned on GO Transit and the F59's can pull 10 by themselves

Quiet zone?

[@AlejandroJimenez-j2l]

Love your videos! What intersection is that ?

[@theclarksonrailfan2521]

Thank you! That is fourth Line in Oakville, Ontario

[@jean-michelmenard394]

Cool

[@paulsmith5398]

Did i miss something? Ohhhhhhh!, no horn blowing! Do they still put horns on Canadien locomotives?, or are they just forgetting to use them🙄🤔❓

[@theclarksonrailfan2521]

This area of the subdivision is a no horn zone unfortunately because alot of people live nearby and complain of loud noise

[@paulsmith5398]

@@theclarksonrailfan2521 the area where i live in the US has no horn zones here & there, but occasionally, an engineer forgets, and gives a toot or two anyway.

[@drewpatterson8261]

Would the GO trains travel at a higher speed if the entire line were grade separated?

[@theclarksonrailfan2521]

If the GO Trains could travel faster they would but they take a long time to accelerate

[@drewpatterson8261]

@@theclarksonrailfan2521 Is the long acceleration time due to the locomotives? Has there been any discussion of GO transit acquiring new locomotives?

[@theclarksonrailfan2521]

@drewpatterson8261 yeah they are diesel engines so they are slow, and the distance between stations isn't that long so they don't go above 100 km/h usually. One day they may electrify the line but that's a long way away

[@metropolitantransit7276]

Where do express trains make stops at?

[@theclarksonrailfan2521]

Niagara Express trains stop at Exhibition, Port Credit, Oakville, Burlington, Aldershot and St. Catherines

[@eclipsetheengineer4338]

The Metrolink of the Greater Toronto Area

[@theclarksonrailfan2521]

Literally called metrolinx
