soo8513 Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Re: the nine Milton ntrainsets ... I believe they also rotate with the 12-packs that operate Union - Hamilton. I have a dispatch sheet from January 11, 2016 that showed 12-pack 601/206 starting the day in Milton (#162) and ending at Whitby as #436. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Looks like there are expansion plans for GO Train service into Niagara. http://www.niagarathisweek.com/news-story/6354701-clear-commitment-made-for-go-transit-rail-to-niagara-in-provincial-budget-niagara-politicians/ How much traffic does the Grimsby sub actually see on a daily basis?

soo8513 Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Grimsby Sub -- I think one CN freight each way per day; perhaps a peddler and two VIAs each way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfitz Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Grimsby Sub -- I think one CN freight each way per day; perhaps a peddler and two VIAs each way Two VIAs each way? All there's been for a while is a single daily VIA (typically Amtrak rolling stock) train to New York City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainmaster_1 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Grimsby Sub -- I think one CN freight each way per day; perhaps a peddler and two VIAs each way Grimsby Sub sees 4 regular freights, 2 VIA's (97/98) and a nightly roadswitcher out of Aldershot to service customers between Hamilton and Nelles Rd. Sometimes an extra train does run, the odd Port Rob Turn (567) to handle overflow 421 traffic from Aldershot bound for the CSX and NS, along with a 232 from Frontier Yard which is empty multilevels to Oakville or sometimes Beachville.

Shaun Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 So there is ample track time for GO Transit to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm99746 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I can confirm that the new 300 series cab cars are allowed to operate on the Milton line. 303 is on the tail end of the L12 consist led by 665 that is parked at the Milton layover yard. This train would have been the second run from Milton to Union this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.S. - QCTO(GO/Bomb) Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 what about the UPX? I assume you mean the Pearson Sub. i.e. the viaduct to the airport. Nothing but UP equipment(and certain track units) are allowed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gil Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 When daylight savings starts/stops what happens to the GO bus schedule leaving Union since there's still service at 2:00am when the clocks reset? For tonight will there be 3:00am departures or will they be cancelled? The schedule for tonight on their website still show 2:00am departures even though technically there isn't a 2:00am!

The schedule remains on "current time" until the end of service this evening.Do bars open for an extra hour cause there's an extra hour? Will Metrolinx pay everyone an extra hour of overtime? What's your point? We're losing an hour tonight. And for the record, many bars remain open until the second 2am (an extra hour) when the clocks fall back in November.

dowlingm Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Was beside LSE today and saw cab 314 with 645 and 644 at the far end. Any particular reason why GO would double head these two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 For the F59's why do they put them at either end instead of together as a double header? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Dispenser Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 For the F59's why do they put them at either end instead of together as a double header? probably something to do with the fact that they save on the need for a cab car at the other end since a pair is used almost always, unless it's a 6-pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
