CN freight RACES VIA train!!

What a cool catch this was!! As CN 8881 SD70M-2 at the front of the train and a mid train DPU CN 2309 ES44DC make their way towards Toronto along with VIA Train 67 with P42DC 910 passes me and the train at 100MPH!! Sorry it's a little shaky, I didn't have my tripod at the time. Btw, that K5LLA horn on the SD70M-2 was UNBIEVIBLY LOUD!!! Enjoy!! Winchester Rail Productions

@fr8ARTruleZ - VIA!

[records26]

nice catch, but invest in a tripod. much as i want to watch this vid its making me seasick.

[moon47mars]

@records26 - Thanks! Yes, I have a good quality tripod. I had it since last year. Don't you hate it when you catch something good when you don't have your tripod on you? This is what happened.

That's the right place at the right time :-)

[moon47mars]

@EasternOntarioTracks - Ya! I was just about to pass that road until I herd my scanner go off and that was the VIA train. I didn't know there was a CN there! What I did was when I got out of the car and looked down the tracks and saw a light!

I hope there is enough double track for Via to win

Maybe those VIA locomotives should produce fifty thousand horsepower.

@videomaker557 first sd40m-2 i ever saw was 8888 ;)

There is video editing available on You Tube, where you can stabilize this video after the fact. I suggest that you see it stabilized and save the result. You'd have to wait until the video effect is processed. The stabilize function works quite well. Otherwise, this video is nicely filmed, and entertaining as well. Keep up the good work!

@Graham987654 yeah, I kinda knew - that's why I said my money is on the VIA train !

@Graham987654 Thanks for the info. Since my comment submission, I learned more about this set up. I have a friend who works in administration at MacMillan Yard in Vaughan. I get a lot of inside info from her. Once again, thank-you for your response.
