drum118 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Will the switch leading into Obico yard be disconnected? Will it allow GO to use both platforms and run more trains? GO will not use both platforms until CP stop placing the auto racks on the north tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamaalism Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 The "u" on CP's GP9u designation stands for upgraded. The "RM" on CN's GP9RM designation stands for re-manufactured. Maybe I should tell you when CN 543 goes down into Keating Yard and does a few places along there on the TTR next time Hi, I'm relatively new to this forum and tracked this thread down while looking for more info on the schedule of trains that run through Keating Yard. Do you guys still have info on that? I'd love to catch some shots of the train passing through Lakeshore and Leslie / Carlaw area. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks a lot!!!

They are thinking of selling off some of SD40-2 fleet. Also the first batch of AC4400CW's that are in storage may be placed in long term storage or sold off.
