Nice video Dan!

[AMTK510]

Nicely done! I'm sure I've seen that BNSF unit when it was in it's prime.

[RailfanDaniel]

@AMTK510 Thanks man! You probably have. Do you miss the BNSF C40-8W's?

[AMTK510]

In a sense, BNSF is a GEVO dominated railroad, it's all you see expecially on the transcon anymore... so yeah. It added much needed variety... but oh well.

@RailfanDaniel forget CNSF that should still be BNSF. how could BNSF get rid of part of its SF collection.

[RailfanDaniel]

@BNSF9250 It's just a term us Canadian railfans are using, like a nickname. Sorry if you take offense to that.

Greatcatches. Did you no by the CN cowpath they are adding a 3rd track from Mile 0.0 of the CN Dundas Sub. that connects only to the CN Cowpath. There willbe a small wye (visible from where you filmed from the bridge) to connect to Hamilton or to Burlington. You cannot access the CN Dundas Sub. from this track. If you need the CN Dundas Sub. trains will have to use the cowpath only. Mainly this 3rd track is for the VIA's that wye here so they don't tie up the main on the CN Dundas Sub.

[RailfanDaniel]

@RailfanWaterloo Really? I didn't know. It almost sounds confusing but i get it. That's really cool to hear. Although, i still don't see how that makes sense. There are many spots along the CN Oakville Sub where a wye can be built. Long Branch is a great spot. Not only is it possible to build one there for Via but it's close to TMC (Mimico Yard). The wye they have at TMC can also be torn up and replaced with a wye slightly to the west that can hold a 20 car GO train. Still, thanks for the info.

[acelaboy123]

wow, made into a cn unit!

[RailfanDaniel]

@acelaboy123 Yup. CN purchased a batch of BNSF C40-8W's back in July or so. Most are now in CN paint, although this one is one of the few still in BNSF paint. With the number of locomotives across the CN system, it makes this a rarity.
