ON 1805 meets CN 2237 at Brechin (06JAN2011)

Ontario Northland 1805 & 1800 northbound at mile 74 of the CN Bala subdivision in Brechin East pulling an APU and 5 passenger cars.

ON 1805 sides to allow CN 2237 to pass at track speed. The conductor and engineer of 1805 check both sides of CN 2237 as it passes.

Canadian National 2237, 2464 and Illinois Central 1001 southbound at mile 74 of the Bala subdivision in Brechin East pulling mixed freight. If you watch carefully at 3:35, you will see a car wobbling like crazy -- this might have been what they were looking for.

geez, due to the lack of snow in the opening minute of this video, it almost looks like a spring day instead of the beginning of January

[JayJr2007]

@fretsallen Yeah, it’s surprisingly bare around back of Lake Simcoe - it’s obviously effected the distribution of the snow belt snow.

Nice! I wonder how much longer this 2 engine consist will last

[JayJr2007]

@trainguyONR It might be here to stay; I guess we will see.

Nice video of the meet. Just a clarification as I am familiar with this location, your directions are reversed. ON1805 is northbound and CN 2237 is southbound.

[JayJr2007]

@kingcab318 Thanks - all fixed. I tend to do that every so often. LOL

@GeorgetownRailfan907 Where was 2237 yesterday?

[crazeejay2006]

Awesome catch and video!

[trainguyONR]

That would be cool. I railfanned the CN Ruel sub yesterday, did pretty good. Videos uploading at the moment

looks like it used to be all double track.
