[Ohiorailfan]

Great Video!!

[RailfanDaniel]

Great video! Some pretty rare catches! Never heard of a Via Rail coming off the Dundas Sub with only two cars!

[gomichiganrailmst3k]

Canadian trains are very interesting! That looks like a cool spot to railfann

[LocalRailfan]

Some Canadian trains are cool. I personally think the US trains are cooler but we Canadians have some cool stuff. Bayview is a great spot to railfan. Thanks for watching!

[aj21101]

@LocalRailfan why do you think our trains are cooler?

[LocalRailfan]

More locomotives, railways and better horns...

[aj21101]

@LocalRailfan if you can check out my videos... you will see what runs by me and stuff... we have everything from overpowered trains(trains with 9 engines and 50 or so cars) to trains that are underpowered(2 engines pulling 163 cars)

[aj21101]

@LocalRailfan and if you get the chance... find a way down here in the states and see them in person!

[LocalRailfan]

Where abouts in the US are you?

[aj21101]

@LocalRailfan east coast... in Massachusetts... Pittsfield to be exact

[aj21101]

@LocalRailfan think you might be able to make a trip sometime?

[sicilian12345]

I know CP does Toyota, Honda, Chrysler and CN does General motors/Ford. ............. once again correct me if i'm wrong.

But which railway does BMW, mercedes etc??? just wondering if you know??

[LocalRailfan]

Yes the C.P.R handles Toyota, Honda and Chrysler and C.N.R handles General Motors and Ford. I know for a fact that Norfolk Southern carries BMW. Im am not sure which railway carried MB ( Mercedes Benz )

[sicilian12345]

awesome vid once again!

Just a quick question.......... correct me if i'm wrong but don't CN auto racks from the Ford plant come through here on to the Grimsby sub to USA?

AND CP auto racks from the Cambridge Toyota plant come through here on to the CP hamilton sub to the USA as well??

[LocalRailfan]

Thanks! Yep you are right about where the autoracks will go to. CN also takes them up the Dundas sub. CP and CN both meet at Brookfield then cross into the US at Fort Erie.

[gaycowboy31]

I dont know if this interest you or not its a bit ironic really I am watching your video here on Canadian trains on a former CN Buisness Car now in private ownership called the Metis

[myamazingworld]

What time window did you catch these?

[LocalRailfan]

Around 3:45-5:00 on a Saturday. Weekday's are way better!

[Redneckrailfan]

Nice,5 stars!

[RailFanDavid]

kep using the camera.

[RailFanDavid]

good video.

[RailFanDavid]

i think the blue thing is some kind of transformer.

[LocalRailfan]

Thanks for your comments, I was thinking the blue thing was a transformer too.

[RailfanAlex]

Nice video! :)

[ConrailForever]

Very nice! How many trains a day would you estimate go through Bayview Jct in the average day? I was thinking of going there for my summer railfanning trip.

[KokkeiMizu]

"Daily traffic density can vary. Upwards of 45 freight trains and 30-40 passenger trains per day can pass through Bayview Junction on both the CN and CP tracks." - Wikipedia

[LocalRailfan]

Thanks for watching! Back before the recession Bayview Jct would get 75 trains a day but now I am estimating there might be 45-55 trains a day.

[ConrailForever]

Alright, thanks! My only other option would be Wellsboro, Indiana if the Chicago idea falls through like it seems it will.

[LocalRailfan]

According to Wikipedia Bayview can get up to 85 trains a day. Those results might've been recorded a long time ago. Bayview is a interesting place. I find the mornings from 6:00-10:00 are great and 4:00-9:30 are also good. I also find Fridays to be the busiest railfanning times. The CPR, CN, VIA, GO, and Amtrak all run by Bayview Jct. You might even see UP,NS, and BNSF if your very lucky.

[FlyBikes089]

Sweeet video!

[zaffdoc]

Outstanding!

[trainguyONR]

awesome! great catches

[trainzandbridgez101]

How many trains was that?

At about 3:12, there is a CN ES44DC. Those are pretty rare! What's that train car with the load at about 3:21?

Favourited and up on my channel!

For some reason, your new videos aren't appearing in my 'Friend Activity' box on my homepage. Do you know why?

[saintjohnrailfan]

Those ES44DC's (GEVO) are more common in western Canada, because of the DPU capabilities to help trains through the mountains.

[iusetano]

Excellent video. Nice catch on the west bound CP. Thanks for sharing.

[schul4]

Awesome!!!!!!5****************­***************:)

[goreds03]

VERY GOOD VIDEO 5 STARS AND A FAVORTIE

[LocalRailfan]

GLAD YOU LIKED IT!

[NJT4111]

love the horn on the Via F40! and I also like the silver Budd cars waayy better than the new wierd ones, good job!

[LocalRailfan]

Thanks, I was very happy to catch all F40's that day instead of the usual P42DC's with the messed up "cardboard cars" as I call them. The horn was really nice too, your right!

[Stephenson18]

great job! got some interesting stufff !
