Heard about this from RailfanDaniel the night before. Was a nice surprise. 6403 has only out of the shops for about a week.

FridayJune 25th 2010

Note: Before rebuild, this was the F40PH-2 in the CBC livery.

  • Great video my friend

    I wish CN kept that second track in as you can still see where its paved over, does anyone know why CN took it out??

    Seems like with more GO traffic they could have used it.

    Also correct me if Im wrong but I think there used to be a third track on the Grimsby sub decades ago???

  • @sicilian12345 The track was taken out because there wasnt really a need for it at the time, and it just meant more property taxes to pay. Im not sure about the 3rd track. I know there was a 3rd right around St. Catharines station, but that was just a siding. However I am not sure, sorry

  • Actually, 6403 has been rebuilt since May 14. Heck, it has already been to Vancouver and back.

  • @CPRail9524 Oh ok. I was told it was brand new, only about like 3 weeks or so. still relatively new though

  • Excellent shot! Very cool to see this on the Grimsby Sub!

  • @dan9325 Thanks! I was very shocked to hear that it was on the evening VIA the night before, and I was very lucky to get out to see it. This is not something that will happen very often at all.

see all

  • that horn could use a tune up ! it doesn't sound quite right like a K3H

  • These rebuilds look awesome! Looking forward to seeing one on a Toronto-London-Windsor/Sarnia train when I take it!

  • @jaredc621 That would have been today if it was at 2:30. that would have been VIA 92, which replaces VIA 90 on the weekdays. Wow though, it came back. i will have to be on the lookout for it. Thanks

  • Great video Bill! Sucks the CBC livery is gone. Oh well. I like the paint scheme on the F40PH-3. That K3L horn will sound better eventually.
