Rail Spiking Fool!
It was too cool. Twice this weekend I've seen some massive consists of trains ebing pulled along here in Toronto.
The first one was actually outside of the city in Pickering. I never did see the loco pulling this train but man it was huge! I caught the tailend of it. I never did see the motive power pulling the sucker. The cars literally went as far as the eye could see. It was awesome.
Today while going to a Raptor game at the ACC I saw two of these bad boys coming out of Union Station lashed up with a smaller loco and pulling a huge train of those 80' auto cars with Union Pacific logos on the side. They were CN locos though not CP.
There were also some tank cars and gondolas too. I could have sat there until the whole thing had gone through. It was awesome. I thought I heard and read somewhere that 6 axle were not allowed through the city. Guess that bit of info was wrong.
